I'd rather have my hand near the tow release instead, especially during the

Most of the gliders I've flown have the tow release way
too far from my hand. Granted, I have short
arms (not a boxer), but do others commonly notice they
need to lean forward a little or twist shoulders to
pull the release on many gliders?
