Default Does anyone use a tug tow hook that releases automatically whenglider kites?
That might be the scenario to build an auto release. it would require an electronic gyro which any more is inexpensive and easy to implement along with the full back stick switch, if the Tow plane pitches down more than a certain amount (Maybe 20 degrees down pitch) and with full aft stick initiates and auto release.
