Tug pilots - a question...

Evening all.

I've just finished the tow release mechanism on a little Delta of mine, and I was wondering about the fitting required to go in it. It is basically a small loop of thin cord/wire, nothing fancy. Is it normal for the pilot of the towed glider to supply this fitting? If so, what is the normal fitting on the end of a tow line for it to hook up to?

Cheers

steel trace from fishing tackle shop. little loop on a swivel clip.

It's usual for the glider pilot to supply the release with a quick fit swivel particular to their model, my towlines have a loop n the end.

Cheers Rich/Leigh.

So if I make up a short leader (say a couple of feet long) to suit my model, with a quick link type swivel on the end (to hook into the loop on the end of the towline) that should do the trick then

yes

Cheers folks! I'm now ready for some, er, tugging!
