cross-country aerotow
was my first long distance tow and it was more frightful
than the flight up. I should have left the landing
gear extended and popped the spoilers open. I ended
up with WAAAAAAY too much slack in the rope and pulled
the release.

Yup, I too made that mistake on my 50k in a Pilatus B-4. The trick is to go to
low tow position. Does a much better job of keeping the slack out.
