@jamesPLANESii Unfortunately, it was very difficult for me to balance the aircraft with the glider at a greater distance. I fly almost every second Saturday with my trusty 152 and next to the shelter of our club is the "Athenian wind club". Of course her pride is one fantastic DG and a wonderful Maule, so I have a little opinion about gliders.
The little blinking thing is an sideffect for the glider's ballast system. I did not know how to skip it.
I find it wonderful that you are dealing with civil aviation and not with things that kill and shoot. I remember you did a few flights, if you find some time (and money) I hope you continue to get your PPL. I am always happy to talk to people who love aviation !

After 8 months of real life, it is live. A racing glider with respect in real aerodynamics.

A couple of things
- The minimum legal length of glider tow ropes is 50 metres
- What’s the flashing thing at the back?
@Treadmill103 Thanks for your good comments! The glider pilot is indeed happy, but the tow plane pilot is probably three meters below the ground! LOL
