Default Fatal Towplane Accident 5-9-20

Nobody has yet mentioned that, having seen the video, that for several
seconds before the upset, the Tow-Plane's main wheels were not on the
horizon. We were taught at our club to maintain the wheels on the
horizon, is this not taught in the USA..?

We were also taught to release if we loose sight of the Tow-Plane, but I
interpreted that wrongly as, 'If he went into Cloud'.
