wrote: From memory the K13 has springs on the rudder pedals, so that when one cable snapped the springs pulled the other pedal to the floor and thus the rudder to full-on in one direction. I suspect this is true for many other gliders. This definitely applies to DG-500/505, too. Two people killed on an airfield next to mine due to this. Bye Andreas
