Wow!

That looked radical! Loads of lift about – all they had to do was slow down to use it . Most worrying – the guy was wearing shorts!!!! If he had “landed out” he would have been dead in hours from Hypothermia.

Tiger towing

Gaxan, that suprises me. Although knowing the square root of b**ger all about aerodynamics I would have assumed that, although heavier, the modern glider (or should we call them sailplanes?) was far more efficient/aerodynamic and, once on the move, would have been easier to tow.

I tow using either a Rallye 180 or a Pawnee 235, and there are some gliders that can only be towed using the Pawnee with any degree of safety or climb performance,A tiger would be completley out of the question.
70/75 kts is required on tow with a heavy glass ship and a Tiger is hard pushed to do that staright and level without anything on the back!! 50/55 kts is a sensible speed for the lighter vintage gliders and is quite do- able for a Tiger, but who wants to thrash their precious Tiger towing gliders for marginal financial (if any) gain?
