My Flying

The weather today was looking to be marginal, but flyable, but things took a long time to get going at the airfield and even longer for me to get my turn in the ASW20. I was towed to where the tug pilot expected some wave to be found, but all I found was lots of bumpy sink and so I headed home.

With my Guinea Pig status now confirmed, the next guy was towed a little further and straight into some wave were he soared merrily for the next hour or so until it started to get late and dark.

Anyway, on a positive note I executed proper ASW20 aerotow technique behind the tug by first starting with open brakes and all I can say is that it works like a charm. One definitely has better aerolon control at low speed. So the cost for the day, an aerotow and some 20 time.
