Hi all. Can anyone help. What is the best thing to use as a tow-rope. I was also told that 70' to 80' is ok to start with. Adrian.

andrew wallace:
hi adrian
i use line i got in B&Q think it was used for a clothes line or something as for the lenght 100" or more is better

andrew wallace:


Adrian this is the line i use i had to buy two as 30m is about 90 feet
hope this helps
all the best  :D

Adrian14MZ:
I have been told NOT to make the tow-line to heavy because it can cause drag on the tug. What do you think ?. Adrian.

Adrian14MZ:
Hi Andy. I came across one of your posts.

never thought the weight of the line used would have an effect on the glider being towed.

I am using a Sig 1/4 scale clipped wing cub with a STG23 up front. You show two lines in your post. What is the lighter one made from.
