Default Confusing SSA hand signals that should be changed

Because we're running a club and training operation, not a contest launch.

There are plenty of circumstances in which student plus instructor might need an extra five seconds to sort something out. Absent the rudder wag, your only recourse at "all out" is hit the release. That's not very efficient.
