All & Simon I hear Simon H is an electric powered vehicle expert (Solar Challenge Darwin to Adelaide) and wondering if you can offer thoughts on suitable electric vehicle which could be used around airfield and towing gliders. I am sure within a few years it will be the standard vehicle for airport use.
Recently at Bathurst I noticed an electric skate board for personal transport to the launch point - now just need a larger glider towing version!!! Off topic I have heard overseas insurance companies may consider you are not covered for damage to a glider when towing behind a vehicle. May be a good reason for driving very slowly when towing glider as just maybe you may not be covered (esp if using other than factory gear). 18 months ago I heard about a Libelle Written Off!! being towed behind vehicle and many many gliders with about $5000 damage from towing behind a vehicle .
