Speaking of gliders, how about the tow plane? None of the books I have on aircraft design even mention planes towing other planes; what does a plane need to tow? I dont guess it's like cars where your engine wont start or something so somebody tows you to the shop... but could it, or would that be against the rules? I havnt ever heard of any planes being towed like that. Anyway, if there's not a whole bunch of mods required to tow planes (or to be towed, maybe) than I think it would be a good idea to incorporate these capabilities into your homebuilt airplane designs to enhance their practicality. :D
