Syncro towing

Years ago i had heard talk of someone towing two pilots on a split line.
Does anyone have images or video or more first hand experience with such a set up?
Thanks.

Beginner serial glider (low B) for easy full stall entry & stable tail slide

I’m a novice pilot shopping for a low end EN B serial glider like Advance Epsilon 9, Ozone Buzz Z6, SkyWalk Tequila 5, Gin Atlas 3 etc... does anyone have experience with low end B serial gliders with easy full stall entry and maintaining stable tail slides without needing to use difficult techniques? I don’t want to purchase a glider only to find it is a bitch to maintain stable tail slides. After a hundred hours of beginner air time (or maybe less), I will attend progressive SIV training and maybe set up a 300 stall challenge.

Safety height

How high (low) do you train over ground, when the box is almost over your landing field?

Last season I was at Gelitzen and would stop the manouvers at about 300m, this allowed me to just reach the (alternative) landing field a couple of times when I miscalculated or messed up. But this year I'm flying at different locations due to time and budget constraints, and often reach the "box" with under 400m.
