This happened to me when I was gliding with the cadets but mine seemed a lot scarier!! As we took off the line broke and we didn't have the height to return, so we ditched in a farmers field... I farted two or three times...

perfect reaction, also the call for the height ! Great performance of the pilot. keep on gliding...

@Conan1ts actually in all fairness, once when gliding with the Air Cadets i was nearly put in the back because i was so heavy :P

@Juliandonkersloot I love flying so much, I come as soon as I get into the plane!

looks like heaps of fun, minus the little incident.

To have 1000 m rope is quite normal in Germany.
Depending on wind and type of plane you will get highs of 300 to 600 m.
Take of in this way is much less expensive the towing by a plane.
In my club (Akaflieg Frankfurt) price is 3,50 Euro.

1000 metre rope? I don't think so. 100 metres maybe
