Multiplex aero-tow coupling #723470, Model Shop Leeds

A simple, reliable and elegant method of connecting the aero-tow cable to the nose of
a glider for aero-towing. The principle has been popular for years; just attach a loop of
thin nylon cord to the towline - nothing extra is required which could easily get lost at
the fl ying fi eld. To operate the release all you need is a low-cost standard servo and
a length of 1.2 mm Ø steel rod running in a snake outer sleeve. The housing is made
of eloxided aluminium, and the unit is simply glued in the extreme nose of the glider
using thickened epoxy. Hole required: 10 / 12 mm Ø, length 25 mm.
