The pilot should avoid overcontrolling.
Principles of aerotow are the same as for other sailplanes.
b) Level flight
The maximum speed for aerotow is 81 KIAS. It is necessary to trim the
sailplane to reduce control forces and to decrease pilot fatigue during
longer flights on tow. It is necessary to realize that control sensitivity
increases with flight speed.
Descending
A satisfactory rate of descent 390 - 590 ft/min can be obtained when
the towing aircraft maintains an airspeed at least of 54 KIAS .
