No one went cross country today as we did more of a clinic with Gerolf working on gliders (but to no avail, it appeared). Lukas gave a talk on towing techniques which Balasz should have paid attention to. He locked out at 300' and he had to let go of the bar with both hands to operate his release. He's got a new release now (like the one's we used at the 2007 Worlds in Texas).

Lukas Bader says that this release is widely used in Germany and has the Gutesiegel. It can not be released under pressure from aerotowing. Hey, DHV, how about learning from our mistakes and correcting this error? You can contact Lukas and Balasz for the specifics.
