Thanks George. This POH is hugely more comprehensive than the 1975 version.
I saw nothing indicating he was burying his wheels in mud in front of his hangar but perhaps I missed it.
I always started my glider tows on the ground and not airborne, but ok. LOL.
I didn’t see any indication that he was intending to turn the aircraft at the hangar either. But maybe I missed it.
The instructor keeps whacking my head telling me to box the wake and then you turn...And my tows start in a straight line, no side loads until airborne and that pesky glider gets out of position. He doesn’t know how to play follow the leader.
I'll box in the turn but I'll jerk yer butt around to express my ingratitude for your inconsiderate decision to initiate the unnecessary turn just as the instructor is whacking me in the head.What, you can’t box in a turn? If not why not?
Granted a more advanced maneuver. I was getting checked out at a different airport and the instructor asked for a box just as the tow pilot turned, no issues mate.
