Default RE: How to make a TOW System - RC Glider

Here is my release which is just a simple servo actuated pelican hook in this case on my Oxy Moron, a Seniorita converted for aerotow and also flys with two quick removable 25FX's.

We have towed mostly two meter various gliders and Bird of time along with my motorless Seniorita with at various times: A Senior Telemaster with 91 fourstroke, A Lazy Ace with OS 1.08 tow stroke, A Lazy Ace with G-23 and now working on a release for my GP Stearman PT-17 with OS 120SE

I use an eighty foot towline as optimum and for what its worth I much prefer gliders with ailerons on tow.
