Default Tow rope musings - informal survey

My first launch in Lithuania last October was certainly no more than fifty feet behind the tow plane. I found it possible, but extremely difficult to stay in sync with the tow.
I was told the short line was standard there because it allows for retrieves from short fields.
In deference to my American ways, they added considerable length to the tow line for all subsequent launches.
