Default TOW PLANE Accident

Cameras have become one more enticing temptation to fiddle with something on tow. I know of one premature release on tow when the pilot intended to adjust the rudder pedals. The result was an expensive tailboom repair. Fortunately no injuries.

Below 1000' Don't fiddle with anything but trim.

Exceptions:
the flaps are set wrong
the spoilers have come out
