No one is actually controlling the tow plane, it is a signal!!
You dont need to move further to the right than when boxing the wake.
Well...kinda depends on how good the tow plane's mirrors are. Sometimes, it can be real hard to see where the glider has gone! But when the slip ball starts to slide over, it's pretty obvious that a turn is being directed!
As long as everything is done smoothly, it will be pretty obvious to the tuggie that a turn is in order.
And it's kinda fun, actually...at both ends of the string.
