I know 6 ASW 20 pilots that survived launches with the elevator
disconnected (though the glider often did not), so "I approve Marc's
message". I had a C model for 11 years. I would never have a glider
without automatic elevator hookup, because I am very much aware of my
limitations.
Unless money is a compelling problem, I would not ever suggest an ASW 20
other than the B/C models.
