Re: AERO-TOWING
this is a venture my club is going to try this year as well, and it seems im the only one with any clue,, you must atach the tow point on the tow plane at the trailing edge of the wing,, or at cg,, most folks see fullscalers towing from the tail, this will not work on models,, the gliders will need a release inthe nose,, theres many ways to set this up,, big trainers, telemasters that are over powered are the preferd tow plane but most high wing planes that have the power can,, useing a tow line around 60 ft long, with a section of bungee to be a shock absorter,, also a streamer on the end of the tow line to keep a pull on the line after the release is good idea,, i will try and find some pics for you, if you have questions just ask
