Otto Korrekt strikes again?

You efforts are laudable! :-)

Ah yes - what to do with the left hand! In the UK, they teach that the release should be firmly grasped during take-off. Definitely a good idea for winch launches, but IMHO not so great for aerotow. In many gliders, holding the release then obscures the spoiler handle with your arm so you can't visually check it. I was taught by my German instructor to do as Cindy says and either block or gently hold the brake handle to ensure it really is closed.
