Do you want a tow craft or a road assurance one??? 😂 😉

Im kidding...I really dont know..Hadn't try the glider yet.

Wing-Man has great experience with the glider.
You can wait or PM him for help 😉

You can go much higher than that but it is pretty tough to control the glider without snapping the towrope.

Fly the tutorial "Introduction to Soaring". Its pretty useful.

I though the plane only took you up to a max of 2,500?

I'm probably wrong though, I've only flown in the glider about twice.

I think thats just the scenario in the tutorial

I just took it to 3,500 before I gave up.

As a full size sailplane pilot I can tell you that taking the tow plane higher will cost you more back on the ground. You are suposed to find a thermal (vario goes extra high) while on tow and release into it circling until you find the best lift of diving out of heavy sink. 1500 AGL is the norm the tow plane will reach it's max lift and climb rate shortly after that starts to drop off at altitude.

Wow, just saw the picture and it's pretty amazing. You seem to be flying that DG glider with no legs (I can see the seat and carpet) and the gliders I've seen converted for disabled use have a "thumb-stick" on the control column for managing the rudder. Is the adverse yaw pretty awful? And seeing as you've got no legs I guess the CofG is probably pretty far out so you probably spin quite easily.

Never mind 😀
