Gin Gliders offers a safe, lightweight and easy tow release system, “Towing bridle”. It attaches
to the main carabiner and engages the speed system to enhance takeoff safety and climb
performance. It is a two piece tow bridle for use with front mount reserves – with a three ring
release. The bridle utilizes a straight pin which is preferred for reverse in
fl
ation style launches as
the odds of a premature release are greatly reduced over curved pin systems.
If a webbing release system is used, there is an increased risk of lockout. This means that the
glider does not fl y towards the winch and control pressure by the pilot is not su
ffi
cient to correct
this. You should therefore check regularly the position and alignment of the glider to the pilot
during towing, as the towing rope hangpoint located well in front of the pilot encourages the
glider to turn, and this may not be detected.
