Bill,
If the initial rope tension is too low, the pilot should just release
and not stagger around for long periods. Elevator authority should not
be a problem when rope tension is low. From experience, I have never
seen uncontrollable pitch ups on slow tows, only on fast ones.

Right, and you DON'T start the rotation. If you do, that's when the
problem starts and you run out of elevator control.
