Well if you could bypass the computer's control, perhaps instead of a "manual" switch you could tie it to your own controller programmed to activate at 40 MPH. (or even connect the 2nd button from the left to your own controller.) You'd need an electronic indication of your speed somehow though. Is our speedometer electronic (probably) or purely mechanical?

How does the computer detect if the wing is deployed? Is there an external sensor, or does it just check if the motor relay is activated?
