RE: [RCSE] Re full size towline...going off topic

[Tim Vandenheuvel]

When I was working towards my solo, primarily in Blanik L-13/23's, we often 
had to worry about towing faster than the max tow speed indicated on the 
placard.This was especially true when we were pulling up the older K-6's, 
etc.. We were  using Maule M5's with Lycoming o-235's up front. Good times!

The SSA soaring manual states 150 to 200 feet long.  The glider will be 
flying before the airplane has enough airspeed to leave the ground.  The 
sailplane pilot will have quite a bit of forward pressure on the stick to 
hold the glider within about 5 feet of the ground.  If the glider is too 
high then the airplane cannot take off.
