towplane collides with glider, prop hits wingtip

"If the towplane loses power, the sailplane pilot should immediately
release, maneuver to the right of the towplane, and stop as quickly as
possible. *The tow pilot can then discontinue the takeoff and maneuver
to the left side of the runway."

This is exactly what I did many years ago in the same situation. I
was unable to stop my ballasted open-class ship before reaching the
towplane and coasted past it on the right. I recall seeing the
propeller stop abruptly as I was just about airborne. He pulled to
the left and I went right - no problem.
