The aero-towing stuff really excites me. How and where do you hook the line to on yours? I plan on beefing up the gear a little using a piano wire support that someone else showed on here. You have a nice looking plane!
If you look closely at the second picture of my plane you can see the tow release just behind the trailing edge of the wing. I machined my own from aluminum (it pays to have a lathe and mill in the shop) roughly similar to a commercial unit made by Ben Diss. The best place to tow from is the top of the plane, unlike full scale that uses the tail wheel attachment.

If I get around to it this weekend I will pull it down from storage and take a couple of pics of the setup,
