-Taxi the J3 within 60m to the bocian. The bocian pilot has to press Ctrl-o. Both pilots should see in the console window that they are connected to each other, then the J3 pilot can taxi. As long as we have no instrument displaying the distance between the two aircrafts, the J3 pilot should watch /sim/hitches/aerotow/tow/dist and /sim/hitches/aerotow/tow/dist-time-lag-corrected in the property browser. Be very slow if the dist gets near 60m, the length of the tow. Increase the speed slowly. Both pilots should try to lift off gently - the glider pilot should be particularly careful not to lift the tail of the towplane. Either pilot can release the tow by pressing "O" (Shift-o).
