10 tows an hour is not unusual if the glider is always ready. This gets a single seat glider, probably with ballast, to 2000 feet. Add in some heavier gliders or higher tows and it will be less. > what do Pawnee pilots work on in liters/hour while towing? Probably over 60, I don't use that value, planning per tow is more useful. One litre per 300 feet climb is the yardstick I was taught for "average" tows. It comes out fairly close over a day. I'm basing this on VH-WGC at Waikerie, which has a 250 hp engine. It's a bit better than a 235 hp. _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
