Aerotow takeoff with Cirrus, aileron rudder use

A little follow up for clarification. *I can't figure out what's more important, staying behind the tow plane or trying to level the wings with rudder during the initial roll. *(assuming ailerons are mostly useless at this slow speed) It seems, at least on the initial roll, that you can't always have it both ways. * There isn't a conflict here. The rudder input required to raise the wing is a rapid and brief pulse input that has no significant affect of the lateral displacement of the glider. You want to get a significant yaw rate but not a large change in direction. (Stomp on the rudder and almost immediately bring it back to center) Once the problem of the wing drop is corrected the increasing speed and aileron control allows normal use of the rudder to track behind the tug. (Never flown the Cirrus but no stranger to use of rudder to raise the wing on other types) Andy (GY) |
