Default GLIDER TUG RELEASE POINT

Dear All
I have been searching for ages on the web to find the best point on the fuselage to tow a glider from. Any pictures would be great. I had thought putting the hitc point directly behind the trailing edge of wing siting it on top of the fus...........good idea?????????

Someone must have experience!!

Best wishes
