USHPA and scooter towing
Submitted by Davis Straub on Fri, 10/17/2008 - 12:20.USHPA and scooter towing
Has the USHPA contacted the scooter tow instructors when designing their program? It looks like anyone can put on a scooter tow clinic, is that true? Regardless of their experience?
Has Steve Wendt been brought into the program? The USHPA doesn't have the expertise to run such a program. Who are they relying on, if any one.
I noticed that Steve Wendt's photo was in the USHPA magazine article. Did that imply a connection or an endorsement?

On Thursday we drove a few hours up the road from Manquin, Virginia, to Ridgely, Maryland and Highland Aerorsports. Jim Rooney knew that I wanted to check out the Highland Aerosports' golf cart "scooter" tow operation that Jim was running. I've published Jim's earlier reports and couldn't wait to try it out.
BlueSky, the four step program

Steve Wendt has sold his Honda 125 (http://ozreport.com/10.035#0) to a paraglider instructor in Canada and replaced it with a Honda Elite 250, a scooter that can get you off the ground in a hurray. This is the scooter tow that I used last Thursday when we first got here.

On Monday morning I was hoping for a strong south wind in the morning to help me run with my 71 pound (32 kgs) Wills Wing T2C-144 behind the low and slow scooter tow. The forecast was for 10 mph in the morning but it didn't look that strong.
BlueSky, foot launching with the Moyes Matrix Race harness

On Sunday, I got out early to practice foot launching harnessed in my Moyes Matrix Race harness and being pulled from my aerotow pro-tow bridle. I wasn't sure how this would work out with the boot flapping at back of my legs as I ran along. Would it trip me up? Would I waddle instead of run? Would Steve pull me to the ground? Would the tow forces be too high up on my chest?
