Much like flying a child's kite, towing consists of hooking the glider up to a length of line and pulling it into the air. There are a number of different ways to tow, including static line winch, payout winch, stationary winch, boat towing, truck towing or aerotowing. In aerotowing, the hang glider is towed into the air behind a motorized ultralight aircraft; this is similar to the way sail planes are launched.

Which foot should I measure?

Hologic - Sahara FAQ
Several published clinical studies have shown dominant vs. non-dominant does not make any difference but you should always measure the same foot. If a limb has been immobilized due to a fracture, then the other foot should be tested. This is particularly true with hip fractures (old or new). In addition, if there has been a foot fracture, that foot should not be measured. If the patient's skin, in the area to be tested, is abraded and/or has an open sore, do not measure that heel.

How important is it to get more than one glider?

Sugar Glider FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
This depends almost entirely on how much time your (and your family/household members) will be spending with the Sugar Glider and the emotional make up of your glider. Gliders are social animals and need interaction or they can grow lonely and get depressed and even sick. People that spend an hour or more a day interacting with a single glider out side of the cage normally have wonderful healthy and happy single gliders.

Will a glider get along well with my other pets?

GliderFAQ
Gliders are delicate and easily frightened, and therefore I believe contact with most other pets should be avoided. Gliders will relate to almost any other animal as either predator or prey, and it can be difficult to tell how two animals will react until it is too late. If your gliders are in a secure cage it is safe to let mellow or quiet animals roam the same living area (my cats used to love sitting and watching my gliders, but now they could not care less).

How can we find out what has been launched into outer space, and who is responsible for it ?

A registry of launchings has been maintained by the United Nations Secretariat since 1962, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 1721 B (XVI).

How will JWST be launched?

The James Webb Space Telescope
The Earth's atmosphere is nearly opaque and glows brightly at most of the infrared wavelengths that JWST will observe, so a cold telescope in space is required. For those wavelengths that are transmitted, the Earth's atmosphere blurs the images seen from the ground and causes stars to twinkle. Adaptive optics can correct for this blurring currently only over small fields of view near bright stars functioning as reference beacons, allowing access to only a small fraction of the sky.

Most states have a reduced speed limit for vehicles towing trailers. Verify the towing speed in any state you are going to tow in. On line resources like the RV Safety State by State Towing Laws are available, but may not be accurate. If in doubt verify the speeds with the state Department of Motor Vehicles or Highway Patrol.

What is scooter tow?

Hanggliding FAQs - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Que...
A small motorscooter or vehicle with a centrifugal clutch and variable speed belt drive is used as a stationary winch usually with the rear wheel replaced by a small winch drum. A hangglider is somewhat more difficult to fly under tow, and the pilot must also be aware of the various things that can go wrong in order to react appropriately. The USHGA has tow administrators who can rate people for tow. Most of those are also instructors and can train people to tow safely.

Can I tow?

FAQ for our RV Rental in Florida
No, only because we don't allow it on rentals. The RV has a Class II hitch, 3500lb/300lb tongue weight limit. The RV has a GCWR of 20,000 so it can tow 5000 lbs but is limited by the hitch. Ford states that all trailers over 1000lbs have brakes and most states have laws that are either 1000lbs or 1500lbs.

How will I choose the right glider?

GliderFAQ
Like any animal, sugar gliders vary tremendously in physical and personality traits from one glider to the next. You may want to consider a younger glider (be sure it at least eight weeks 'out of pouch' and able to thrive without it's parents) so the two of you can grow together, although acquiring gliders as adults can be very rewarding as well (and usually less expensive).
Related Questions

What should I feed my glider, and how often should I feed it?

GliderFAQ
The healthiest diet for a sugar glider is a topic of much debate among glider owners and breeders, and one that is difficult to prove. The best way to decide what to feed your glider is to do a lot of research and then speak with your veterinarian, other trusted glider owners, and also the breeder you acquired your glider from. I myself feed The Exotic Sugar Glider Diet and The Pet Glider Vitamin, and have had great success with it.
