Default TOW PLANE Accident

you need an extended release cable or a piece of line on it so you can
hook it over your hand.

Fair comment. My Libelle has a fairly long release cable so my hand is
resting on my leg with fingers loosely round the knob. Cable is slack and
hand supported by leg.

Juniors are also good: arm supported on the cockpit rail with fingers on
top of, but not round, the T-bar release. Needs little more than closing
fingers to pull the release.
