Re: banner towing
Did a little bit of banner towing during the Indy 300 on the Gold Coast. Typically you tow the banner at around 30-40kts. Anything below that and the banner doesn't fly properly, anything above that and you start to get tears on the trailing edge and the flag will look more like a triangle than a square/rectangle. Typically from the hook to the weights it is around 160ft and depending on conditions you can hook some fairly tight turns but normally you keep them nice and sedate.
