Hi Decathlon Fans!

I am working to get my new, E- powered 122" Pilot RC Decathlon in the air soon.

Is there any tow release kit from Pilot RC that fits the original holes in wood and cover that is already made by PilotRC in the 122" Decathlon?
Or a tow-release kit that is recommended because it fits without drilling new holes or changing the pre-made Construction?

I searched the net but could not find a kit from Pilot RC and my mail to PilotRC some weeks ago was not answered.

Best regards, and stay healthy!

you can use something like this:

or make your own. I have the h9 release on one of my planes and it's simple to install and works well.

I don't know if Pilot or anyone makes a tow release specifically for the Decathalon. I will be using the Z-605 from iflytailies.com in my 122" Decathalon. I haven't installed it yet, but it looks pretty simple. Just drill a 1/2" hole most likely in the center of the 3 holes on the fuselage top and connect the pushrod to the servo at the stock location.

Hi Friends!

Many thanks for those hints.
I asked because several times, i've read about an "optional tow release" with this 122" Decathlon from PilotRC but can not find kit...


So if there is nothing from PilotRC, I'll go for the German tow release from Richter:

Looks like iflytailies.com sells the same...


Best regards from Germany...
