Towing Hang-Gliders and Banners

Postby Oddball » Mon Jun 25, 2007 2:12 pm

I know that the towing of hang gliders is performed at Aviators Paradise; is there anyone here who can put me in touch with a pilot who does this?

Thanks

Howzit Oddball

Tobie and crowd do the aero-towing. He is also on this forum - Think his name is, you guessed it "Tobie". I don't have his number, perhaps DH does. They are at FAAP most Sunday's from 11am onwards

Dale who owns AP will have contact details for you

Brian O'Conner is the pilot with the Airborne at Aviators 082 371 8252 that does the towing :wink:

That Airborne Wizard is impressive, or is it the pilot's? :D - I know the airy is owned by syndicate of 5 guys I think

They fly it at 1p.m. in summer when it is 33degrees. :D

We invited Tobie for a morning flip with us - He does not do mornings, does not own a flight suit either :shock: - Says it freaks him out if the trike is not shaking violently :lol: Thinks there is something wrong if flying is smooth
