I think the logical evolution would be a "Takeoff Warning". It would sense
tension on the tow rope and begin yelling, "Warning! You are about to
takeoff! Any lack of skill or cunning, lapse in judgment, or poor attitude
will place you at risk of severe injury or death!"

Then any sane pilot would simply pull the release and go home safely. If
there are still those dumb enough to actually attempt to fly one of these
unsafe contraptions, an upgrade to the system could be programmed to pull
the release automatically.

C'mon people - just fly the aircraft. Competence can never be replaced by
safety devices.

Hey! Why don't we re-visit the AOA string on the side of the canopy?
Tick marks for pattern, best L/D, and stall? Bumper, can your Mk IV
Yaw string be adapted for use as a Mk IV AOA String? And put one on
each side as your heads up display for left or right patterns?

In all seriousness, too close to stall is far worse than not perfectly
coordinated. If you combine the two, well you might have a bad day.
Really don't think a new audible warning system for a skid is a good
thing.

Just throwing in another 2 cents worth.
