Collapsible Bungee Tow Hook

thingiverse

I design my own FPV planes, and I've had to replace tow hooks more times than I care to remember. After burning out a few of those EPO foam hooks, I created this collapsible version that's a game-changer. To install it, simply drill a rectangular hole about one-third of the way from the wing spar to the nose using a soldering iron. Then, secure it with Beacons FoamTac for a rock-solid hold. Here are the components you'll need: **Printed Parts** 1. Tow Hook Base v3 (downloadable STL file) 2. Aluminum Tube (8mm O.D., 5mm I.D., 31mm L) **Hardware** 1. M3 x 20mm Button Head Screw 2. M3 Hex Nut You can find the aluminum tube at a local hobby store or online retailer. To prepare it for assembly, refer to the diagram provided and follow the instructions carefully. With this collapsible tow hook, you'll enjoy reduced stress on your planes and increased peace of mind during flights.
