Default best tow rope length

We fly from a grass field so landing with the rope trailing behind the towplane is pretty easy on the rope. When we go to paved airports we try to drop the rope before landing.

The rope absolutely should be as long as the space between the towplane and glider. Whenever our ropes didn't extend that complete distance things didn't go too well.
