Forgiving sailplanes
One aspect that "may" be considered as a "forgiving" item is a nose
hook vs. a CG hook for aero-towing. Wing drops, cross-winds, lousy piloting techinque, etc can be magnified to nasty trips into the closest runway light when aero- towing with a CG hook whereas a tow rope connected to a nose hook "may" have the ability to pull you straight and away from expensive trouble. Of course, your mileage may vary... Ray Lovinggood LS1-d with CG hook, but no runway lights
