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? |
