Hi Rob
Either day would be fine, which ever suits you best as the format of the event is the same on both days. I am assuming your model has a tow release fitted, It is normal for the glider pilot to supply a "loop" that fits into your tow release and has a loop on the other end that will attach to the clip on the end of the tugs towline. Make a couple of spare loops as they do have a habit of getting lost !!!The normal procedure is for you to attach the loop to your release whilst doing your pre flight checks and then when you are ready to go, just hook your loop to the towline and the tug will tow you away.
There will be experienced tug and glider pilots on hand both days to help you.
If you want to discuss anything before the event, please drop me an email to the address on the poster and I will reply with my phone number so we can chat.
Regards
