Fatal Towplane Accident 5-9-20
seen, place the tow hook over the towing ships CG.
My 2 cents, JJ Mic drop? Clever concept. Would the release have to be precisely at the CG/CM? If for example it were above the CG/CM point, then would the tow pilot have to apply constant down elevator to overcome the asymmetric leverage caused by the glider's drag? Would the glider pilot be much busier trying to fly in line with the longitudinal axis of the tug?
