Judy Leden talks about the art of aerotowing a hang glider at the Great British Aerotow Revival

During last year's inaugural Great British Aerotow Revival at Deenethorpe, Judy Leden - who has aerotowed thousands of times - presented pilots with some words of wisdom on aerotowing hang gliders. Thankfully I recorded the talk so sit back, grab yourself a cuppa and enjoy some amazing tips from a true legend on how to effectively aerotow a flexwing behind a microlight!
A huge thank you to Judy for sharing her knowledge. Also to Donnie Carson, Nestor Londoño and Mike Lake for sharing footage so we can learn to be better pilots. Finally to Gordon Rigg who added a few very useful words of wisdom at the end.

Fantastic - thanks Judy!

Great video! Where we tow, Lookout Mountain, GA, the LZ is often a bit rowdy. One tip I give people is don't let go of the cart it the wings AREN'T Level! That extra weight hanging down below the glider can fix a lot of un-level wing cart-exit problems. Dropping the cart a couple feet isn't a big deal but leaving the cart with the wings in a bank sux!

16:50 What is the rudder maneuver Mike Lake mentioned?

[@PlaneDelta]

At 2:16 Mike demonstrates the rudder manoeuvre where the harness acts like a rudder and exacerbates a PIO. He had it very much under control but it highlighted what Judy was talking about.
