Hi there, nice video. Why are you in such a low position during the tow ? Looks surprising to me, espacialy when you release, the ring flapped around just infront of the glider.
Thanks Adrien, In Australia we fly aerotow in a low station, just below the prop wash. The reasoning being a far lower chance of making a tug upset. Both high and low have their benefits. If we are using a belly hook for example, we'd naturally be in high tow.
01:00 those millions of amazing cu's are also a subtle clue as well as the birds haha
I tend to trust the birds more than the cu some days😆
Very nice video! Thank you.
Nice flight and video. Thanks for sharing Paul C. Bend Or
incredible views, especially early in the flight - also fantastic sky... DG1000 is my favorite 2-seater, btw... Great video.
That DG1000 is certainly a nice airplane. Lovely flight!
....you guys had WAY too much fun! haha!
Awesome man cheers!
