    Hi Yvan,
    thanks for favourable comment on XL towing Blanik..
    There are two XLs in Slovakia both towing versions.
    modifications: installing of towing hook, control cable, release handle and of course in-flight adjustbale propeller.
    performance:
    towing Blanik with 2 on board: climbing 2-2,5m/s at 110km/hour

    Hi Yvan,
    On your email address I am sending few photos of towing hook, one of them in detail.
    In case of interest it is possible to make few pieces for you/your friends.
    This towing hook is certified by Slovak Federation of UL Flying.
    With Woodcomp Varia- 2 blade in-flight adjustable propeller Zodiac's towing performance is excellent. I think with DUC -3 blade tow propeller the performance would be even better.

    regards,
    Vladimir www.airpal.eu

    Hi Yvan,
    the pics you could see shows Zodiac towing Blanik L-13 with 2 on board.
    MTOW of Blanik is 500kgs. So I think Zodiac can tow most of gliders.
    Our Zodiacs are registered in in microlight category, however they could be registered also in LSA category till 560kgs or experimental.
