I landed my open Jantar on a paved runway in 60mph winds after a wave flight. I didn't dare get out of the glider until help arrived. With that much wind, there was no other traffic trying to land. I held wings level, held the brake, and called my crew. On my landing, I had rolled past the taxiway I needed to take to get behind the hangars where we might have a chance to disassemble. The wind was right down the runway and while I waited, I wondered if I could back taxi to the desired taxiway. Sure enough, I let off the brake and slowly backed up to the taxiway. I was able to steer the glider easily. I kept the flaps negative, and the spoilers open with the stick forward enough to keep from lifting off the ground. Has anybody else back taxied in their glider?
