Glider Accessories and Storage
GKJ has tow out gear used to enable the pilot to tow the glider to the launch point without the need
for extra help. Care must be taken to ensure that the felt on the inside of the wing walker and tail
dolly is in good order and is clean. Storage of tow out gear when not in use is marked on the wall of
the hangar. Do not leave it on the ground.
GKJ also has a canopy cover. The cover must be installed when the glider is not in use and make sure
to attach the straps underneath also. When the glider is being flown store the cover in the baggage
compartment behind the pilot’s head in the cockpit. Take care to ensure cover is kept clean as any
dirt will scratch the canopy when cover is installed.
