Fact: Ultralights / Microlights / Recreational planes are being developed
and utilised for glider towing (already overseas, OZ will follow).

Hallooo:
On days when the airport was too busy to allow self-launching (Back taxi
glider runway, use full length of the power runway. Aerotow start line is mid

is 770kg - so you'd only lose 10 kilos if y
