Well. Same thoughts here. Moreover. I've been taught that if thermal lifts towplane, it lifts you
too. So just wait and correct after you pass through the same thermal unless the height difference
of initial lift is too big. It has to be kept in mind that gaining height behind towplane is much
easier than losing it.

I'm a little concerned about the tow commentary on the site.

At one point it states 'As with tailed gliders if the tow plane goes up
immediately use up elevator to anticipate the lift or sink'. Is IMO
completely wrong and could be dangerous. If you do this in significant lift
you could be asking for trouble. Yes there is a point at which you must
begin to correct for an 'apparent' high tug position but you must be
carefull to not make the situation develop into a 'tug serious low
situation' as it flies out the other side of the thermal and you are still
trying to pull up.

The secret to simple aerotowing is not in madly waving the stick about, its
more in small, effective and fluid control.
