3)What happens in rotor? Is it possible to stall the horizontal
stabilizer of the tow plane? Perhaps it would be good to
automatically released in severe rotor, especially if my AGL and
distance to a landable spot were within predefined limits. Someday I
think I might stay on tow in rotor longer than I should. A mode 3
alarm might provide timely and objective advice to the pilot in
rotor. The device could confidently detect inverted flight on tow
and auto-release immediately.

4)If you had this kind of sensor and computation power in a glider,
it could detect and warn of things like 'imminent spin on turn to
final' and other mistakes. Once you had the hardware platform
installed a lot of useful safety features could be added.

Are you an Airbus engineer?
