Does anyone use a tug tow hook that releases automatically when glider kites?

What about release? Any unintended= consequences? I can maybe see the weak link rubbing up against the wheel w= ell doors. Also, our club has a PW-6 with chin hook. POH says - "Flying under the towi= ng airplane downwash is not recommended since the towing cable rubs the fus= elage front part." Not sure low tow is the be-all, end-all answer. Eric Bick I think you will find the recommended procedure is to move up to high tow for release, ask the Aussies, they are the experts on this. I do use low tow but always move to high tow for the release.
