andrew wallace:
just bought a hanger 9 cub and i'm hoping to put a 30cc dle engine in it
will be able to tow up 2.5 to 3 metre gliders no problem and fingers crossed it'll be able to tow up to 4 metre gliders  :D
all i need now is a tug pilot  :lol:  :lol:

Fred:
Hi Andrew,

Nice one! Was looking at the Hangar9 Piper for aerotowing too at some stage  :D

And not worries for 4m gliders, used to tow them with a 15cc!  :D

andrew wallace:
hi fred
we where using the hanger 9 pawnee with a lazer 100 in it and had great fun i was flying a cmpro 2.5m discus , it was able to pull up to 3metre's no bother at all
but sadly that tug pilot has moved on to other things now
and as i'm the only one flying gliders i have to supply my own tug :(

andrew wallace:
finally got round to test flying the cub today


went for a very simple tow release


ready tow the first tow of the day



towing Robert Wallace's  jamara 2.5m ventus

the cub flew well and i'm well pleased with the DLE30 up front roll on next weekend

billscottni:
Nice one Andrew!
Judging by the dress sense it was bloody freezing! :shock:
