, toad writes snip There is one less Discus in the world because the pilot had his hand on the release on a bumpy day. He "in-advertently" pulled the release at low altitude and crashed into the trees. The pilot was not injured, but the glider was totaled. If you want to keep your hand on the release, then hold it some way that prevents turbulence from releasing it for you. Since a launch can fail at any point, inadvertently releasing shouldn't lead to totalling the glider... -- Surfer! Email to: ramwater at uk2 dot net |
