Default Towing with a Segway

Does anyone have experience towing a glider trailer with a Segway human transporter?

Which of the light gliders, the Sparrowhawk, Russia or PW5, tows best with a Segway?

I'm not sure about the Segway, but I have no problem towing my ASH26E with
my Razor scooter. It is a little slow going up hills though.

I use a nicely restored 1949 red Farmall Cub tractor. Can mow around the Marfa
airport at the same time.

Liam,
Could you please be more specific in your request for informetion?
Is the trailer you are planning to tow loaded or not loaded with a glider?
Please state specific glider if loaded. Is ancillary equipment intended to
be included?
How far are you planning to tow?
How fast?
Where?
As to the second question;
Are you planning to tow the glider about the field ?
Are you planning a ground launch?
Paved or unpaved aifield?
Cheers!, Pete
