I'd like to do tugging. Especially with, say barter swapping 'earnings' for glider rental :-D It's nice to be important/useful part of a club as well.
Can't think of nicer way of 'hour building'

I still have long time (couple years) till I'd be rated in FW and proficient enough to do tugging, but from what I've read, there are some requirements in FAA ie glider towing rating and min TT.

How does that compare with UK CAA/JAA regs? Haven't read about such rating in Europe, maybe some training in safety and min hours PIC or something. I'll try to find it in here.
