ym1,

Good luck. I'm sure your experience will stand you in good stead and will put you high on the list of potential tug pilots at any club.

In particular, they will like your gliding experience. I have often been towed by new tug pilots with no glider time and it is remarkable how they will allow a thermal to lift a wing and turn them away from the lift!

Just remember that your tug will have next to no performance. A big difference from a Pitts!
