The pilot is pulled to his right but his legs and body are off to
the left. He is holding onto the hoses on both cradles. The base tube is on the
cradle on the left but the wheel is partially below the cart tubes. The cradles
are on one of the three carts that have plastic cradles instead of wood. I'm
going to assume the the bottom of the base tube is 1 inch below the top of the
cart tubes. Spinner is going to remake these cradles to raise them up above the
cart tubes. The pilot's position means that the glider will yaw to the
left as it is doing and this will not correct the fact that this tow started
with the right wind lifting.



The pilot has released both hoses. The left white wheel is now fully below the
outer cart tubes. The bridle is pulling on the right down tube and right
bracket. The base tube is not on either cradle. The pilot is still positioned
with his upper body and head to his right and lower body to the left, therefore
the glider continues to yaw to the left.



The cart is going left against its left wheel. The pilot had dropped down to the
left and has been pulled forward by the tow rope. He makes the natural response
of bracing for his fall when it would be better for the glider to take the
impact. The glider is yawed way to the left. The left part of the control frame
is pinned against the cart pushing it left. It's not clear whether the base tube
would have slid across the cart tubes, if the wheel hadn't been there.



It looks like the weaklink breaks when the pilot hits the ground. Click on the
