I got lazy with the video above...I've replaced it with an edited version cutting out the boring stuff and with a slow-mo/zoomed replay.
Anyway, here's another one illustrating the issues three-string releases can have when there's no tension on the tow line. I don't know why it's only a problem sometimes. It's easy to release with both hands at any rate.
Also, we were discussing wing warping on US Hawks a while back...the camera angle does a real nice job of showing it. Shortly after releasing I weight shift left to bank and then shift right to level out. You can see the sail billow as I shift my weight. Looks very much like control surfaces! I want to make a better video of this some time.
