Default RE: CL model towing a glider?

ORIGINAL: Avaiojet

John,

Is that model a kit!

The tow thing?

The biggest issue would be keeping the lines tight. This could be enhanced by connecting the tow line to the port side of the fuselage? Instead of in the center.

I'm thinking about this line issue.

No Charles it was published in an old flying models mag can,t remenber its date in the seventies but was smaller and intended for .074's and I built it from those plans.

My own speculation would be that keeping it on the lines may not be as big an issue as you think , perhaps skewering the thrust line (towhook) just a small amount inboard a small amount as you suggested, but of course I have not done it. Please keep the project alive and posting about it here.

I want to attempt it so bad but I am the only one here flying any controlline so that can be very frustrating.
