The LS-6 is controllable with one disconnected flaperon

handle more than half (?) will pull back the flap handle,
inducing roll, as demonstrated by groundloops (yes

Do you know the drill for your glider to:
- recognize a disconnected control, and
- recover as best possible
or do you fly with automatic hookups ?

My ASH 26 E has automatic hookups on all the controls.
