Tip: Lock the belly release so it wont back release!

Tom,
I have been working with TOST CG-hooks (i.e. 'belly release') for the
last 25+years and have yet to find a way to 'lock' the back-release
function, a very important safety feature.
Feel free to elaborate on that one..... ;-)

Uli,
on my ASW24 (CG-hook only) I regularily lock the back-release feature
when aero-towing in the alps, due to the high turbulence that can be
experienced there. I simply push a cork from an ordinary wine bottle
behind the TOST hook, so that the swiveling part of the hook is blocked.

Needless to say that the cork should be removed before the next winch
launch....
