So far I've never seen a flapped -300...
On the other hand, it's impossible to misrig an automatic hookup bird.


There are a few older gliders where this is possible.

If
the wings are in place, the controls are ok. You can forget to screw the
tail in place, as in the ASW-24,


Schleicher has a simple retrofit (for many of their gliders - not just
the 24) that keeps the tail bolt with the elevator and reduces the
chance of this happening. It's worth doing.
