That's true if it goes flat - I've see the video....

OTOH I've not heard of that happening during the normal training regime
of incipients and 1-2 turn spins.

The primary reason why the pooch is not on our shopping list is that very narrow
winch speed window.

Yes, that's understandable, though we don't have huge problems from
that. It would be interesting to hear from the Hus.Bos. crowd on this
point. Their training fleet was exclusively SZD up to 2004: 4 Puchacz
and 3 Juniors for post-solo training, though they now have 3 Puchacz and
a K-21.
