Critical distance is probably not turning radius and tailplane, but being able to open the rear door of a 4WD (hinging up or to the side), but this is just a matter of convenience for restowing tow-out gear after you've removed it from the glider.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Tow-out gear G'day all, I am about to finish the tow-out gear for our club Jantar. How long should I make the tow bar connection from the tail of the aircraft? That is, are there potential issues with the tailplane hitting the tow vehicle if it is too short?
