I don't know what kind of tow release this is. However, if you don't know how to contact him directly, try contacting Phil Greenspun at philg@mit.edu because Ben is a member of Phil's website, and may know how to contact Ben.

If you're looking for an under-belly tow hook that has a servo release mechanism, I have two. One is for up to 3 meter sailplane size. The other is unlimited (Sailaire, etc.). -- DC

DC,

He's looking for aerotow releases.

Link to a thread showing the tug release here: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...light=Ben+Diss

Didn't see one for the glider but sure it's on this site.

Ya, I saw them there. I am just not too excited about paying $40 more than Ben Diss charges for the same release. I have email out to Ben now. I am holding out hope that he will ship me the release that I ordered from him 3 weeks ago. I just hope nothing has happened to him. I haven't heard from him nor seen him on RCGroups for a while.

Thanks anyway.
