Can you not just fit a tow hook and use in glider mode ? ;)

Subject: Europa-List: Exhaust angle
I would also like the exhaust to go straight back for drag reasons, but
the evolution of operating the airplane has led to its current angle -
quite down oriented. Ease of removing the lower cowl plus mainly keeping
exhaust fumes away from the cockpit and the wing are the main reasons
for the angle. I have thought of welding a section on the aft of the
exhaust to form a fairing shape, but in reality I would never see the
results in operation. Sometimes you just have to get the thing into the
air. It is way more fun to fly it with the draggy exhaust than it is to
stand there looking at it on the ground while pondering all the ways to
make it go 0.1 knot faster!
I am having withdrawal symptoms right now while waiting for the new carb
flanges to arrive!
