If so does the 1,000 meter tow penalty still take
effect?

The finish point can be declared afterward? It does
not have to be the landing? And the 1,000 meter difference
between start and finish is calculated from the post-flight
start and finishes?


You can't post-declare start or finish points for a distance task. If
you want a start point other than the point of release, or a finish
point other than the point of landing, you need to declare them before
flight, along with the turnpoints. The 1000 meter allowance is between
the start point altitude and finish point altitude, so if neither start
nor finish is declared, the difference in altitude between the point of
release and the point of landing must be 1000 meters or less to avoid
the penalty.
