3.1 Maximum Permissible Towing Speed (V T )<br />
The airspeed during glider towing operations must not exceed the<br />
maximum permissible airspeed of the towed glider. The minimum<br />
airspeed when towing a glider must not drop below 1,3 . V S of the<br />
towed glider.<br />
3.2 Maximum Weak Link Strength<br />
1. Tow ropes should provide a length of 150 to 200 ft.<br />
2. A weak link of Q nom = 300 daN has to be installed.<br />
3.3 Maximum Glider Take-Off Weight<br />
The maximum permissible take-off weight of the glider to be towed<br />
varies with the propeller mounted to the REMOS GX. Following<br />
operating limitations may not be exceeded:<br />
Propeller<br />
Glider<br />
Tonini GT-2 1.210 lb [550kg]<br />
Senseni<strong>ch</strong> R70EN 1.580 lb [720kg]<br />
Neuform CR3-65 1.580 lb [720kg]<br />
Rospeller (*) 1.430 lb [650kg]<br />
(*) Not for ASTM aircraft certified in USA<br />
During glider towing operations the REMOS GX must be operated<br />
only by one pilot (no passenger allowed, except for<br />
training/instruction). In that case the total take-off weight (towing<br />
aircraft + glider) must not exceed 2.900 lb.<br />
