Gliding flying is a big part of nz flying
I soloed a glider in Masterton before going on to power flying
We used the Tiger and Super cub and the Bolkow b208 .
Later the super 150 hp c150 came to be used ., .today how many other other types are used ?
Agwagons airtrucks c182 was once towed off by a tripacer
any other types we should add to the list
Auster comes to mind etc would like to hear your thoughts Cheers

I'd like to see a Stirling towing a Horsa but that might be unlikely these days...
