I brought this over from our local discussion forum - a very scary stunt, where an An-2 tows 5 gliders onto an airshow. THe 5th pilot at the rear is constantly swearing about the lack of sufficient aileron authority due to the wing vortices.
I believe this stunt was only possible as the gliders wings reach out from the vortex, giving them a little bit of control authority / stability.
