Thanks and to Kurt Krempetz for publishing his ToFu indoor towline glider
in the latest NFFS Digest and in Carl Bakay's SLIM newsletter, and to Hank
Nystrom for helping to trim and hold while I tried Indoor Towline Glider for
the first time today in the Johnson City, TN Mini-Dome.

Best time was only 1:55, but I claim the unofficial site record until
someone at least makes one tow. <grin>

I used substandard, but colorful (dyed film) Banks Limited Pennyplane flying
surfaces but otherwise borrowed heavily from the ToFu design.

Since I had never tried indoor TLG and had not tried outdoor much in 25
years, I was encouraged. Towing indoor TLG is not a cardio workout.

Maybe I can stir up other Indoor Nats (USIC) contestants to build and fly
ITLG also.
