Great Planes Glider Tow Release

Requires:

Standard Servo (FUTM0029)

Threadlocker (GPMR6060)

1. Cut the covering from the hole in the top of the fuselage

for the release mechanism. Apply threadlocker to the threads,

install and mount the mechanism with the washer and nut on

the inside of the fuselage.

2. Mount the servo for the hook release. Make a Z-bend on

one end of the pushrod and connect it to the servo arm. Then,

cut the rod to the correct length. It should be long enough to

release the tow line but not come out of the mechanism.

3. Use a 3/32" brass tube sharpened on the end or a 3/32"

[2.4mm] drill to cut holes centered in the trailing edge of the

horizontal stabilizer 5-3/4" [145mm] from the fuselage.

4. Cut another hole through the trailing edge of the vertical

stabilizer 5/8" [16mm] from the tip.

Installation Instructions

CA Glue (GPMR6001)

Z-Bend Pliers (HCAR2000)

3/32" [2.4mm] Drill Bit

Coarse Sandpaper

5. Roughen the included plastic tube with coarse sandpaper so

glue will adhere. Cut three pieces of tubing 5/8" [16mm] in length.

6. Install the tubes. Then, use thin CA to glue them into place.

7. Fasten the bracket to the bottom of the fuselage with the

included screws. Guide the cable through the plastic bushings

in the tail surfaces and connect both ends of the cable to

the bracket by looping it through and securing with a swage

clamped to the cable by squeezing with pliers.
