Sideslip or crab immediately after takeoff on tow in crosswind?
The crab is clean for glider and tow only if both have CG hooks.

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? -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

Apologies to the original poster for staying off topic.... cg tow hook equipped tug would eliminate take off accidents due to the sailplane getting out of position.... no?
