Another day of Scooter Towing at Wes/Mar. It was sunny but with winds 6-10 mph. I made an effort to land on the same spot every time but only made it within ten feet four times out of the seven attempts. I also had a line break on the first tow and made some meager efforts to find lift. Overall it was a good training session and a good exercise in ground handling.

How did you trigger the release of the tow cable? In the past you were using your hands.

The first flight was a tow line break. The end of the tow line has a loop through which the bridal runs. It can wear out if not properly inspected.
Very glad to hear it. Hope it and the other one stay intact for many landings to come. Still think it would be a real good idea to take the cone out of the field though.Allen Sparks - 2012/09/30 01:00:09 UTC
The shoulder is not torn, just strained.
