I've had spoilers self-deploy (no honest they decided to come out all

And now for my usual reminder: most DG owners can retrofit a Piggot hook
to their glider, following directions available from the factory (I
assume the info is still available there).

But wait, there's mo Cambridge 302 vario users can connect their gear
warning switches to the 302, and set it to also warn them if they
attempt a launch with the spoilers unlocked. It works really well on my
glider.
