Yeah, what UL said !!! ;) Three additional points: 1) With aerotowing the towline is pulling you UP!!!...eoff, and well above stall speed and in control. 3) Finally, with aerotowing the HG pilot decides when to...- Jozinko, very nice! Looks like your trike/Verner is configured for aerotowing. What do you tow? Hang gliders only? I would imagine your Verner has plenty of power for towing?
- ...mp; slow-- captures the essence of the sport I think. I changed "Towable" to "Trailerable" to avoid confusion with aerotowing ;) Also, yo...

...and either end can release at a moments notice. It is a fantastic way to get airborne in the flat lands. I have never felt in imminent danger aerotowing. Actually for me one of the...Comment on "EAA pushes for ultralight training reforms- Instructors plunge from 3,200 in '02 to FIFTY !!!???? More WTF"
...gineless trike with wing but should be rather easy to do. As you know, John R. down in OZ now has a very light trike frame (no engine) for aerotowing with his ATOS wing. But...Comment on "Keel-fixed versus keel free: Spectrum 144: self-sustaining yaw-roll oscillations"
HI did alot of sailplane towing behind a stearman in the 70s. It looks to me that aerotowing in a hang glider is fundamentaly simular. The hang glider lifts off first then remains at a...- ...r gas engine versions. Very slick and designed to fly with ATOS wings but could use other wings. They even show their electric trike aerotowing a HG so clearly their electri...

...d landing on wheels is much easier IMO than running with a winch pulling you. In the flatlands I think the best way to learn how to HG is by aerotowing, usually involving plenty of...Comment on "Efficiency: Perfect pitch UAVs and airboats lead to new propellers (at least some good from UAVs / Drones)"
...because it still retains some ability to bite the air. But multibladed props might be better suited for climb performance or towing (like aerotowing HGer). But I think if y...
