How many people here tow gliders with a PA-18?
I started towing this weekend. Since making the worst decision of my life in 2013(selling the cub) i finally found a way to fly a super cub....and for free! I might be a slave now though. any thoughts?
Also, for those who do tow gliders. When the glider releases and I dive to the left I routinely see 125mph It seems ok. One time I saw 120mph indicated and decided to slip to see what happened (because I was only getting -1,500fpm). It produced a fabric whipping in the wind noise which caused me to immediately stop slipping. What is the fastest speed you have ever slipped.
PS: commercial parachute jump plane pilot told me "only 120mph?? your a wimp."
