For a Luchenbach fuselage and a MH32 wing, how far would the tow hook go?

Thanks

Jose

I highly recomend an adjustable towhook. The towhook should be just about under the CG which for the MH32 wing is about 4 1/4" back from the wing LE. Exact CG and towhook location are a matter of personal preference.

Thanks Phil

This is how it came out. Last time, I placed it to far forward and by the time I found the right place with my adjustable tow hook the fuse looked like a gutted fish.
