Default ASW automatic tail hookup mod?

Remember the Ventus driver who slid the elevator in place and was just about to secure it with the little red knob, when he got a phone call (before cell phones), went to the office and answered the phone. Came back, jumped in and towed off! Elevator flipped up at something like 500 feet....................He is no longer with us!

Then there was the Genesis driver who slid the elevator on and couldn't secure it because he had given the little red knob to his wife so she could start putting water in the wings. Figured he would get it later...................He got it about 30 minutes later when the elevator fell off on the runway! Could have survived that, but he never heard the line boy calling RELEASE RELEASE RELEASE, because he was on the wrong frequency!

Rush.....Rush......Rush = Dead.....Dead.....Dead
