Default Super Dimona Motorglider in Soaring magazine feb 2004

Interesting article. Too bad (for US pilots) it uses
the "despised in the US" rotax engine. But this is
a real favorite in Europe, I'm told.

CFR 61.69(a)(1) requires tow pilots to
"Holds at least a private pilot certificate with a category
rating for powered aircraft."

Perhaps the last 7 words should be eliminated so
glider only licensed PPL, self-launch endorsed pilots
can use this aircraft to tow?

It looks a little flimsy for daily tow work, but
if one could convince the insurer to allow instruction
during towing, one could make the tow flight
an instruction flight too...double the customers, right?
