Default Nose release for a Ventus B

One problem I have come across with the nose release on some Schempp Hirth gliders is that during the aerotow the tow rope masks the Pitot tube just above the release and ASI does not read correctly, if at all. As long as the glider is responding to the controls all is well. It makes me nervous after flying other types which show airspeed when on tow.
