Is the Applebay hook similar to the Schreder design?

Any comments pro or con about the Appleboy nose release?

Reportedly there are some PIK's, ASW's, LS's and Zuni's out there
with them.

Had the same request on gliderforum.com for a few days. A few views,
but no
comments. Perhaps someone here that I haven't already had an
exchange
with?

TIA,

There is one on my ASW 20. I have not used it to many times but it
seems
to work fine. It is a real pain to open it for the hook-up. Once it
releases and retracts there is nothing to grab a hold of to extend it.
A pocket knife or small screwdriver blade is needed to pull it out of
the fuselage far enough that you can open it.
