Winch Launch Safety Study
Bill,
If the initial rope tension is too low, the pilot should just release and not stagger around for long periods. Elevator authority should not be a problem when rope tension is low. From experience, I have never seen uncontrollable pitch ups on slow tows, only on fast ones.

If you do, that's when the problem starts and you run out of elevator control.
