  • In Australia all aerotow including release is done from the Low Tow position. This was changed about 25 years ago following an accident where a glider transitioning to high tow position prior to release, did so too quickly and caused the combination to enter a dive from which neither aircraft recovered.

  • I assume you mean wheel brakes, yes they do.

    They also have airbrakes/spoilers on the wings which are used to control rate of descent.

  • Do you guy tow from a low tow position? Or are the tugs just highly powered?

  • Thank you for not putting the title "hottest girl ever to solo in a glider". Although you would have a good argument on your hands - it's nice to preserve the calm environment that's often robbed by the youtube poon-piranhas.

  • do these gliders have brakes
