Tom..
Why would you choose to transfer from normal to low
tow...just say below propwash from the start...always
done it ..always taught it..NEVER had a problem..why
endanger your mate in the tow plane?

The key issue here is that 90% of the danger to the

glider pilot to
stay low, so there may be a little less incentive to
get high on the
tow while both are still less than 50' AGL or so.

Sounds like excellent justification to fly low tow.
