I find that Aerotow is easier than other types of launching. Sailplane pilot keeps the wings level and the tow pilot does the rest. Heck, Johnny Berlin took my plane straight up while he was doing rolls. My job was to let him know when I was going to release. One thing I noticed is that

If you only go to the rear wing bolt, you won't be able to ballast much. I guess a tungsten slug might work. . Wonder what it would cost without the large plugs (MPX instead). Wonder if this plane would really need much ballast. How did you install the tow hook? How far from the boom seam

Looks like a great plane, but with thin fuse and profile, it might be hard to see if you don't stay under it. The one thing I noticed on the SBXC is that I can see that hunky fuse at 3000 ft. One BIG advantage to the Thermic is that it is not going just sit around all year. You can fly
