A few weeks back I went to Eagle Paragliding in Santa Barbara for their P2 program. I ended up flying 6 ½ days and almost got my P2. I was supposed to fly the mountains on my last day, but took a pretty bad fall in the shower and left 1 day early.
Instructors communicate with students via “Yaesu FT-65” radios, and I think that would be very beneficial for our towing program.

Matt laid out his wing on the grass next to the path and landed in the same spot laying his wing back down on the grass. Jim Black was the tow operator with his first experience towing PG.

For our Static tow training, we were using Motorola walkie talkies, but I really like the Yaesu’s after using them for a week of training.
I asked Rob from Eagle to point me to his license section on their web site. He lists practice tests from a pool of questions that actually appear on the test.

Makes sense! Yeah I've tried different radio ptt approaches. I settled on a wired ptt button on my thumb which lets me communicate without moving my hands. I don't pass my thumb through the toggle, so it doesn't interfere at all. They break sometimes, but the headsets I use are about $12 so I can buy a couple per year.
