Recognizing and reacting to tow plane engine failure

Ok...and signalling a turn by moving out to the side will not make the towplane hit its rudder stops either ...so what's the problem? Shall we now replace all 17 of the "standard American soaring signals"...with "use radio"? Cookie If boxing the wake causes the towplane to reach control stops then you are doing it WAY WRONG and should expect to wear the rope, yes. If it's mere communication ... like wagging your wings ... that's one thing. If it's physically pulling the tail around against the tow pllot attempting to maintain his intended heading then that's quite another.
