Or something to that effect. 100% agree. For 25 years my club has had two DG-300: One with nose hook and one without. We had exactly one incidence where a DG-300 got the tow plane out of control by pulling up its tail. It was the one with the nose hook. Andreas, pre Newtonian physics (Galileo) suggest that the nose hook is providing more stability, no non-stochastic statistics necessary to prove that! Why is it so hard to accept that you're better off with the tow line attached to a point far forward of the cg? Anecdotal stories are BS.
