Default SAFE Winch Launching

As interesting as it is the discussion about who did what in the last war
has about as much relevance to gliding and safe winching as a tesion
controlled winch.

The differences are too numerous to mention except that a Spitfire,
Hurricane and Mustang all worked and did a useful job, unlike the mythical
tension controlled winch.
