Default Does anyone use a tug tow hook that releases automatically whenglider kites?

Here's another idea that probably has something wrong with it.
Attach the tow rope to c/g, maybe the turtle deck and have a fair
lead at the tail which releases at the tail only under some set of unfavorable circumstances.

The glider can zoom without upsetting the tow plane nor will the glider be underemoniously dropped in turbulence.

Not sure about fouling the tail feathers with the tow rope.
