Re: [RCSE] re: adjustable towhook
The adjustable towhook is a complex piece of equipment. Don't attempt this without adult supervision. I was disappointed that I could make a towhook without having to use my milling machine.

Re: [RCSE] re: adjustable towhook
Matt, It is very easy to make the stock Organic hook adjustable. Where you currently have holes drilled for the machine screws just make a slot in the bottom of the fuse. The inner piece of the tow hook is wide enough to carry the loads as is the fuselage bottom. I have been using this method for years with the standard tow hooks that mount in a blind not that is glued in a plywood carrier in the fuse. See Ya, Pat McCleave Wichita, KS Ps, I first heard of this method from Ed Slegers. - Original Message - From: Matt Fair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2002 4:40 PM Subject: [RCSE] re: adjustable towhook > I have an organic with the same tow hook and it isnt > very adjustable, but it is strong and light.

Re: [RCSE] re: adjustable towhook
Simple. Extend the hole aft and slide the hook back. Loosen one screw and remove the other. Extend one hole and replace the removed screw. Reverse the process for the other screw. -Ben Matt Fair wrote: > > I have an organic with the same tow hook and it isnt > very adjustable, but it is strong and light.

[RCSE] re: adjustable towhook
I have an organic with the same tow hook and it isnt very adjustable, but it is strong and light. If someone has it rigged as adjustable, I would certainly like to see it or read how they did it... Would be nice to have an adjustable towhook on my organic.
