Woops...

Ron was going to be subjected to a practice launch failure by the dastardly CFI.

When you pull the bung, you at least give yourself a fighting chance!

It soon became apparent the Puch wasnt going to make it back from the awkward height the cable 'broke'....and allowed Ron to notch up a field landing alongside the airfield.

Roy promptly jumped in the tug and saved us derigging the whole lot, just to move it 100m up the road. Ron piloted the Puch out of the field and actually made it back to the airfield at the second attempt!
