I wonder if the wing rock signal might be best not
used for the same reason it is never used for winch
launching. If you are slow do you really want to be
applying aileron to rock the wings?

Here's the main thrust of my post - has any glider
pilot ever
successfully used the wing rock signal to speed up
a towplane that was
flying dangerously slowly?

Is this a signal that has migrated from winch launching
and is it
useful?
