In Australia we now transition higher, I use around 200’ before going into low tow.
I have flown high tow at many overeas comps and still find low tow much more stable.
The only time I fly high tow at home is on long cross country tows where I also pull the gear up (nose hook only!) and let the tug pilot accelerate in level flight.
Weird, because long cross country tows is exactly the one time the rest of us use low tow!
The height difference between a good low tow and a good high tow isn't much anyway. Twenty feet / six metres maybe? Maybe less.
