Flying full-scale, when slack appears, we yaw the glider pretty hard. When the slack comes out it pops the sailplane back around with the force that would normally accelerate the sailplane or break the rope. Just a suggestion, as have never done any scale aerotow stuff...do you guys have that much control over the scale ships? BTW, I have a good bit of that 100kg florescent yellow/green trolling line I'd let go for $25 bucks shipped. There's probably still 1000' or more still on the spool.
