At my club (Central Massachusetts USA - 3000 ft rwy), if I pull the
release near 100 ft on a hot no wind day, the "landing" will not be on

Good point. I now fly at an airport where 100 feet is likewise too high to land straight ahead. (That is why I raised the topic of landing out on an uphill grade earlier in the week.)
