Stop the launch- wing down.

I hope the full sequence includes the glider pilot releasing the rope
before the
wing goes down!

The pilot may not be aware of the reason for halting the launch. The
reason might be out of his sight, or his actions may be the reason the
launch needs to be halted, so you can not wait for him to release the
rope before putting the wing down. Of course, if he thinks he is in
peril when the wing goes down, he can release at any time.
