Default Aero Tow Mechanism

Hello and thanks. I'm new to the sport of scale gliders so be kind. I'm building a Grunau Baby 2B and would like to know where I can purchase a aero tow release mechanism to install in the nose of my Baby 2B? Could you email me direct an email address for a company that sales these accessories? Again, thanks.

Try my site and see if you would like the releases I offer. They come in two sizes, 7mm and 10mm diameter. Thesecare the prefered type of commercially available tow release.

Tow Release: For 1/4 scale the 7mm would be OK.
Mono blocks: are on order, did you specifically order these? I did not get extras but can add still. I expecT them in 2-3 weeks at this point. $50.00 per set.
Cheers,
John
