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

I think that is probably the one we developed after our first series of
tests at Booker. It was fitted to a Terrier III, a derivative of the
Auster, with a 160 hp Lycoming instead of a Gypsy Major. I can't seem to
find the article, could you post a link - thanks.

SSA online archive.
