I am looking for info on how to setup a tow plane. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Try the pros at rcaerotowing.com

What do you need to know?

Everything. We are just trying to get started and no one has done it before.

Thank you. I will give it a try.

Well some general guidelines....

Have a release on both sides.

Place the tow point on the tow plane near the CG. If you're towing with a Cub for example, you'd place it at the tailing edge of the main wing on top of the fuselage. Keep the line clear of the elevator, you dont want it getting under the stab.

There's guides at RCAT that will explain in a lot more detail.

You might enjoy this if you're getting into aerotowing...

We did it as rank beginners. We used an Ultra Stick with a SuperTigre 2500 and towed a 4 meter Discus. We put the towplane hook right behind the wing on top of the fuse and of course the sailplane must be towed from the nose. We used 125 foot of 1/8"- 3/16"??? braided nylon rope with brick masons line as loops on either end. It was actually easy and fun. The towplane was a little slow for the Discus so I had to either hold a touch of elevator or raise the spoilers just a tad since the sailplane kept wanting to over run the towplane. Keep your wings level and let the towplane pull the nose around the turns.
