Hidden tow release,
I copied Rick Shelby's tow release using a Sailplane release mechanism. Not terribly more involved installation - upper assy is removable for servicing
I can confirm that it is strong enough to release a fully ballasted Antares from a "vertical" (descending) torque roll position.
All the pieces required
Upper tow release mechanism with servo installed
Lower attachment assy
A view of the assy from the underside of the fuselage
