Nose down to maintain a safe speed and wait for the winch driver to get
the message. If he doesn't, pull off, land next to the winch and
threaten him with physical violence if he does it again....


Only threaten? Pity all winch drivers are not up to the Wotherspoon
standard, right every time.

Threatening the winch driver could be counter productive, he may be a
black belt or be similarly qualified and if not, you may never get a
decent launch ever again from the tiny minority of winch driving members.
