the pilot took off behind the tow microlight, and at about 50ft in the air, continued flying to the left of the tow craft until the tow rope was at quite some angle. either or both parties released the tow cable, but since the pilot was in a nose high attitude, with very little speed, it stalled and hit the ground.
