Ready for take-off.
The instructor attaches the tow line to release clip. Parachute on the tow rope is to slow its descent after it is dropped and to keep the wire tight on take-off. Note landing gear details; the single brake-equipped wheel and the rubber tube sections that act as shock absorber on the nose block. The projection on the ship's nose is the pitot tube for airspeed indicator.
