Old Goldberg Eagle 63 trainer towing a $7 foam toy glider with a camera on the glider. We had to hand launch the glider. It rolled like crazy unless I flew really slow. I had a servo to release the glider, I did and it went straight down! Any ideas on controlling spin?
The reason the cam glider is rolling is probably the spiraling slipstream from the prop.
A larger glider with more dihedral would probably help.

Yes, the tow line is much too short.

Convert the foamie to Rc so it can be controlled and to release the tow line as it does not help the glider CG.

that was awesome although the camera pulled the glider to terra firma pretty fast!
