Default motorgliders as towplanes

Can I add another question, why does the adverse yaw at 60 on tow appear to
be more than 60 in free flight, many students learing to aerotow have
difficulty with the rudder.

I dyslexed the tow rope length. It should have been 200 feet, not 120
feet, although they can vary between 190 and 230 (we use a longer rope
when launching off the dirt).

I have towed enough to know where the wake is, thank you very much!
