When building my Laser 2MC I didn't realize you could slot the fuse for the towhook and simply tighten down the nut making it adjustable. Instead I epoxied the basswood block inside the fuse bottom that contains the 10-32 blind nut. The position came out too far aft and to keep from popping off the winch regularly, I have had to run the bird's CG a wee bit tail heavy. It's great for thermaling in calm air but with a breeze the plane's pitch is very unpredictable (lot's of ballooning) especially at final approach to a landing when you want dead-on stability. Has anyone come up with an adjustable towhook solution that would adapt to a fixed position 10-32 tread? If 10-32 is out of the question would a Heli-coil to adapt different threads be trustworthy on a full pedal launch? Jack Laird Chandler, AZ RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
