Re: Tom Knauff's newsletter

I'm extremely happy to see the text in parenthesis on point no.3.  I have
called attention to this to the Soaring Safety Foundation.  In coaching a
new tow pilot (I am not one) he made his first couple of attempts at this
at a somewhat slow but vigorous rate.  The result was a large yaw and the
Pawnee with its large dihedral looked almost like rocking the wings.
