In addition to the previously discussed.. simulated rope break.. normally trained at a minimum altitude of 200ft AGL.

Just a little fun.. it as 80F on Saturday just before sunset.

how about touch and goes?

 

[Rob Schaffer]

Wow! Very nice. That must be a difficult moment for a new glider student and a trusting moment for the tow pilot. Nice job showing us how it is done.

We need to do touch and gos next spring. I think MM and Tony should teach me this one!
