I'm not sure if anyone can answer these questions, but if someone can I would be very greatful.

Theoretically, if I had a current JAA PPL and needed to build my flying hours, I have been told glider towing is an option.

How do you get involved in glider towing?. .Do you need any special licences/qualifications?. .What is the pay rate like?

Hope someone can answer them!

Thanks

And you will probably need a tailwheel endorsement on your PPL. Taildraggers are tricky beasts to control on the ground compared with tricycle airplanes. Most tugs are taildraggers!

While I accept the interest of this topic for Wannabes, I think you'll find more people better qualified to answer you in Private Flying.. .Just a point, as a PPL you cannot accept payment for flying an aircraft.
