Recognizing and reacting to tow plane engine failure
At the risk of thread drift, I would like to make a related point:
When the climb fails to materialize as you expect, take a peek at your wing to see if your airbrakes are open. Added that one to my list after an SMLG adventure by "a person I know"...

It seems that there is very little time to recognize, react, and recover. What are classic mistakes to make in this scenario? Would it be useful to practice 'release and land to the side of the tow plane path' (and have the tow plane fly a normal departure of course)? Any other recommended training exercises?
