Guest airsick Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Is towing a hang glider with anything normal practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenns Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 I wouldn't of thought so. You can obviously tow with ultralight registered (or at least RAAus) aircraft but I was not aware of any towing of Hang-gliders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Happens heaps these days. Peter Wilson in Tumut is an expert at it. There is a tow endorsement available for trike pilots I believe, and an endorsement required for the towee. Last nationals I think there were at least 3 tow trikes operating continously.

Yes -the HGFA require trike pilots to have a specific endorsement for towing. Besides trikes, the Moyes Dragonfly is commonly used to tow hang gliders - http://www.liteflite.com.au/ Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastmeg2 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 The example I've seen Bob Bailey fly at Rylestone uses a Rotax 582 (65hp) and with an aricraft that light which flies that slow (25kts) it no suprise it's got good towing capacity for HG's. As for maneouverability, definitely yes from what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
