Recce Guy,

Assymetric break of contact is not a problem - we used to do it all the time on the Victor with a single receiver - you just feel a slight tug as the locks open. In case of an emergency break with fuel still flowing there was a much stronger tug which could cause the autopilot (old technology) to disconnect but usually didn't.
