Who looks down the wing at the ground when they turn? In pattern turns I'm looking straight over the glare shield, focused on airspeed (pitch), yaw string, and bank angle.

The argument which says one should avoid low turns ignores the fact that every glider flight ends with at least one turn at or below 300' AGL. Unless a pilot is well trained for low turns this is a recipe for a stall/spin accident. I respectively suggest a better alternative is to find a CFI willing to provide GRM training in a touring motorglider or slow LSA and get really good at it.
