For those of you not friendly with facebook: http://www.youtube.com/waveguru I notice you are offset to the right side of the Pawnee, you are making your tow pilot work harder. Ever wonder why tow pilots have strong right legs? For long high tows we ask our pilots, especially those with heavy gliders, to line up on the left main tire, or where the left strut enters the wing. They pull the tail slightly left, reducing the right rudder needed from P-factor. If the glider is to the right side, he is pull is adding to the right rudder pressure needed. T |

It figures that I post some great videos and the only response I get is some criticism?
Thanks a bunch... Boggs |

Well, I thought they were great pictures.
How is/are the camera(s) held – a mixture of hand held, head mounted, some fixed position? Chris N |

I have a mount for my iPhone. A couple of my videos were shot with a hand held.

Hood back to the field? Unclear if the return trip would be an easy final glide or if it would take some serious work to get back. Robert |

Please don't think of T's message as criticism, think of it instead as a
helpful hint. Having towed a Blanik across 3 mountain ranges in Colorado with a glider pilot who briefed me before the flight that he'd stay slightly low and to the left, I can appreciate the advice. It was great being able to put my feet on the floor for a while rather than constantly holding right rudder. "Waveguru" wrote in message ...

It was a very easy glide back, Mt. Hood is only about 20 miles south.
