CG hooks on tow do not create a problem for competent pilots. It is only
necessary to fly the towed glider, as in close formation flying, without depending on the tow hook to do a lot of the work for you. Of course, very short tow ropes can make any tow difficult. Both my own glider, a Phoebus A-1, and the DG-101 I frequently fly in my club, have only CG hooks. With reasonable tow-rope length I have never found CG hooks to present any problems. But, do keep the trim full down on take-off. Ed
