How long does the tow rope have to be so you don't melt the canopy while "boxing the jetwash"?
As a tow pilot, I am up for a new tow plane such as that. Two minute tow to 5 thousand feet... sounds fun!I don't want to hear any complaints about staying under 65kt, just hang on and it will be over soon!We'd have to switch to tow cable... don't want the rope melting also.
