Then you must have double-jointed ankles!

Seriously, what it needs is a bigger wheel, a hydraulic disc brake, and
activation by a squeeze lever on the stick.

Which is sorta what DG is offering on new LS8s and 10, isn't it? Except
they may use the spoiler lever for the brakes - due to trim lever on
stick.

I'm happy for you that your LS3 has a working brake - it's probably
been worked on, which I agree I should do to mine soon. Forturnately,
I now fly off a grass field and stopping is not a great problem.

But it's nice that the glider manufacturers have over the years come to
realize that gliders are often flown from paved strips - and now
provide decent brakes.
