Okay, here's the deal: While I have nothing against IC flight and fly them weekly, I still prefer sailplanes. Thermal, that is because partial paralysis on my left side precludes HLG and slope.

Our flying field is rough as a cob and surrounded by ten -twelve ft high mesquite and creosote bushes, which makes retrieving hi-starts a total waste of time!

So I'm looking for the release mechanism for piggy-back carry. I know I've seen at least one on the 'net, but I can't find it. Do any of you know where I can locate the plans/illustration for one? I'm fairly good at interpreting these things, so even a rough drawing would help.

Thanks in advance,

John

Sparky Paul: Thanks for the reply, it gives me an excellent place to start. Would have replied earlier, but yesterday I had to take the wife to Tucson to see the Dr. Today I went back to Tucson to see the "Tucson Shootout" a Giant Scale Aerobatic competition. All the big boys were there and it was VERY IMPRESSIVE!

Say do you have room on your website for another Sr. picture? John
