Giant scale radio control typically have the rope attach at the tow
plane's CG and on top. :-)

Could do it with a Pawnee, but the tail feathers would need
reinforcement to handle the rope dragging along them at times.

I know that RC towplanes usually have a CG hook on top but have wondered
about rudder-rope interference. Obviously it isn't a major problem, but
does it damage either the fin and rudder structure or kill the rudder
servo?
