Re: [RCSE] Tow hook trivia
It's my guess that its simply to make pilots feel psychologically more secure on the tow. I've launched Super-Vs for years with a tow hook that is barely two ring diameters long without any pop off problems. When I get a long hook I cut it off. The longer hooks seem to get twisted off to the side more easily on a scary launch and don't release as cleanly at the top. The most important attribute of a tow hook is first that it is beefy enough to never bend and second that it is adequately bent to 90 deg or a bit better.
