How come nobody mentions positive faps in this discussion?
Am I missing sth? Are they useless in situations when the tug is too
slow?
If so, why? Please illuminate me.

Flaps add a lot of drag. The first time I had a stall on tow,
I pulled down landing flaps, which recovered the stall and
almost put the towplane in the trees. I eased off the flap
and somehow he sped up without hitting anything.

Bear in mind that the tug pilot also has a release and if you do something
that endangers him he's perfectly entitled to use it.
