Our CFI discovered this the hard way in our brand new
DG1000. luckily landed on soft grass so no damage.


Having broadcast this fact to the entire world wide

Enjoy your next check flight!

Had a similar situation today in the same glider. A

drowned out the quiet, almost apologetic, female voice
warning.

Got the wheel down though.
