Default Keep your hand off the release handle during aero tows!

Or you can keep you hands on those pesky spoilers?

In an ASW19, 20 or 27 it is common practice (even mentioned in the POH) to start an aero tow with partially deployed spoilers to help keep ailerons effective at low speeds. At around 30 knots put in spoilers and move flaps from 2 to 4. Works great.
