AeroTowing - or, how to aerotow?
I'm looking for advice from experienced aerotow HG pilots. I'm a new H2 (FL/CL) interested in AT. I have some scooter towing experience but realize that flying behind a tug is much different and more challenging. I've been trying to watch as many videos and read everything i can get my hands on about AT. Looking specifically at bar position at the start of the pull, and while flying (seems like you're pulled in a lot). Also, paying close attention to position behind the tug while flying straight and in turns. Any tips or advice you could offer to speed up my AT training when the time comes? I'll be AT training on a wing with permanently mounted landing gear below the control frame and on the keel so it's going to be very weird landing on wheels and not on my feet. Thanks in advance!
