Can anyone on the list point me to a design for a release tester? (That is
to say a device which can safely apply a load on the tow hook up to about
600 daN without removing the hook from the glider)
My Googling skills seem to have failed me

I think the ad277 tests require removal for teating

Ottfur releases are tested in situ for some of the tests. Try your local
RTO/air. Many states have testers you can borrow.

Hi Ken,
LKSC has one made by a member. It works well but probably only on a nose hook,

Hi,
Have a look a the NSW gliding association page it has all the details re

tester.

Thanks Arie (and all who have replied) but I was looking for a design
drawing or sketch that I could post to the winchdesign list on yahoogroups.
Someone there was asking about acceptable release loads. While we know what
those are I thought list members in other countries might be interested in
GFA have one available. Contact your RTOA. But you will have to remove
the hook from the glider.
