My own perspective is that power rules (maybe I've lived in the USA too
long!) and that the quicker I can get away from the ground and off tow
the better! I have fond memories of my ASW-20 being dragged skyward by
an Ag-Cat that, if I remember correctly, had a giant radial engine of
more than 450HP.

A solo launch behind a Zlin 137T could be short and sweet too. Thats the
towplane that launched 9 Blanik L-13s as a single aero tow.
