זאת התגובה בנושא של ג'ונתן שהעלה ת'קטע :
I don't have anything prepared to show others how to safely build or operate a tow
.
Part of the reason for this is that it is extremely dangerous and can result in loss of control of the glider and a high-speed crash. I have been ensnared and tangled in my setup and nearly slammed into a rock cliff. I have the the rig wrap around my wing tip and nearly cut through my sail. There are more things that can go wrong than you may imagine.
Another problem is that it can prevent a reserve parachute from functioning. Although several better pilots than me have copied my previously published information not one of these pilots uses the technique any longer. I think they have leaned the hard way that it is not worth the risk to see the same result over and again. It gets boring very quickly.
I am working on improvements in both function and safety but don't have enough documented to share at the moment.It may be tempting to experiment for the sake of an exciting image but I hope you can be patient.
Thanks,
Jonathan
