Hang gliding - First aerotow flights May 2011

First towing flights behind a trike, late in the evening, nilwind conditions.
Thanks Tom (www.trike-valley.be) for the radio guidance and trike pilot William for the careful towing

Time: may 2011
Place: Maillen airport (close to Namen, Belgium)
Gear: Seedwings funky and Seedwings SR harness

In flight filmed with a GoPro camera. I tried to get the image brighter because the original footage from the GoPro was very dark (filmed at sunset)

Nice video! I think it's the first video of a Funky being aerotowed that I've seen. And always nice to see women hang gliding ;-) That's not very common.

@sorenladegaard1 Hi Soren, the funky is really easy to tow. Very stable and the bar pressure is light even if the towing behind a trike is relatively fast. I am very happy with my bird

Ann you rock!,... this was very cool seeing this tow,... are your landings getting better? please keep them coming!

Hey Ann! In the US they call that pro-towing ;-)
