actually i am doing banner towing this coming saturday and sunday as gaurav bhaiya ( flying_g ) is leaving india for a few months as he is a marine engineer and hence i wanted to do something special for him as he has been my airliner build partner too
well actually i have done this earlier on my slowstick too during teachers day at my school i think i had posted it somewhere let me search
ribbon towing is fairly easy i did it once on the f22 as i saw some combat video's on rcg
banner towing screws up your planes cg many times and for the banner to be visible the straight way up we add some weight to one end of it
its quite interesting and challenging too ;D ;D
my new glider is perfect and i am transferring my banner release meachanism to the new plane tomorrow as i will get it tomorrow

Post the Video ASAP.
