I would also like to know. Are we allowed to do this?
Nice banner that says something like :' BREAKFAST WINTERVOGEL/NEXT SATURDAY/ ALL WELCOME/ JOHN,RONNIE WILL BE SERVING YOU/ DONT MISS"
No serious, are we allowed to do this? Need special authority?
How do you t

Very carefully Free Spirit, You get a gadget (hook) that fits through the centre of the hub of the prop and attached to a E tipe Rotax reduction box, the Flange and shaft to the reduction box is hollow inside which the hook fits through.

You need a banner towing conversion on the type of aircraft, special clearance and permission I am not sure, but I think so

All you need to do is post it as a flying event in the "Flying Events" forum
