Default Re: AERO-TOWING

Here is a photo of the HUsky tow release. It was homemade. A servo pulls the music wire down to release the towline. I put the wire on an inside hole on the servo to get more pulling power as it only has to move the distance of the cutout to release. The entire assembly with the servo is mounted to a 1/8 inch plywood plate that is attached to fuselage former around the center of the wing. Here are the photos looking at the outside and from inside looking aft.
