The Better Mousetrap-: `High Tow'
BOB TUPPER is a nice guy. He's also a good sailplane pilot. But he never had seen my father and I do our power-towing act. One day he agreed to meet us at the field to "try something new." I explained how to fly on tow, while Dad set out the equipment. Then Dad towed him up. Bob didn't have any trouble with the process. They made a couple more tows, then hooked on the second towline. Bob's fifth power-tow was a double, with me on the other line with my sailplane. No trouble! We made a dozen more doubles that evening. Now, if a competent pilot can fly double-tows right from the beginning, using a transmitter that he's never handled before, and a plane he's never flown before, why can't you?
