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

To repeat one point, our tests left us convinced that the tail-plane on the

tow-plane stalled quite early on in the kiting event, it would need some

tests to check exactly how early. It might be that the nose down angle

would have to be quite small, something that could happen in turbulence

perhaps.


That's a pretty interesting (and gut wrenching to this tow pilot) point Chris.

Stall warning flipper on the horizontal? Feasible?
