Aerotowing Instruction

Learning to fly a hang glider while aerotowing, NSW

Tandem aero-towing instruction over the 2008 Easter Holiday at Tumut, NSW. This hang gliding technique, if performed/learned correctly, is an easy way to get a ton of AIRTIME. Here the student is laying side-by-side for some in-flight instruction. I've used this method at full-time flight parks such as Quest, Lookout Mountain Flight Park, Morningside Flight Park and Hang Glide Costa Rica.
