Aerotowing release mechanisms - RCCanada

Terry Gauvin · 02-07-2005, 02:45 PM

For those of you who are active in aerotowing what type of release mechanisms are you using in the nose of your gliders? Home made units? Off the shelf stuff? Would like to know what has been successfully used by others.

Thanks...

I got the Top-model ones from Icare, they are the most popular on the scale ships, and are available in diff diametres. The simple ones work well too, such as a hole in the fuse bottom(.375") and a pushrod going past it.
