The tip rudders were controlled by control-bar sliders which deployed one tip rudder at a time to create a yaw. The glider's swept wing then translated the yaw into a matched rolling motion. The Fledge series were considered to be high performance hang gliders during their production run in the 1970s. [1] [2]
The goal was to develop a target/glider tower, which also could be used for basic training. It was given the name "PIK-23 Towmaster". Only two aircraft were manufactured, one at Valmet and one at the Helsinki University of Technology. The first aircraft, OH-TOW, made its maiden flight on March 22, 1982, flown by Mikko Järvi.

Since September 1988, it has been the holder of several world records relating to altitude and time to climb.
The system comprises three large components: a tow plane, a glider, and a rocket. The tow plane, a conventional small aircraft, carries the glider up to about 40,000 feet (12,000 m) before releasing the towline and flying back. [3] The glider, carrying its own hybrid or solid rocket motor, will ignite its engine to glide higher than the tow ...
