Default Standardization in Slack Rope Recovery?

Bill T " Not all gliders have nose tow or tost connections. Can't always rely on the rope pulling the nose sideways to buffer the tension in the rope. "

While True, moving off too the side (top left or right of boxing the wake) it will yaw the tow plane to help buffer the tension.
