motorgliders as towplanes

So it is possible to be in "good" tow position, and have the rope impart a forward and downward pull (relative) to the glider! * I'd expect high tow to give a downwards pull and low tow to give an upwards one. 20 degrees still seems like a lot to me. *I guess it depends on the weight of the rope, and the drag on the glider. Seems a lot to me as well. What are these people towing with - chain? Ian
