Modern gliders give very little indications of a stall (another reason why training in old clunkers like the 2-33 is counterproductive). *Add a little distraction or a higher priority task (Bee in the cockpit!) Is a bee in the cockpit enough of a distraction or a higher priority task than flying the aircraft. *If you think so you should reread "Fate is the Hunter". Carl B my first flight in the LS-7WL I had to deal with a bee in the cockpit, I did fly the airplane, and I did get it squashed against the canopy frame............what worried me most was loosing sight of it and having it get behind me or down my shirt collar. I've had stinging insects hit the window pillar of my car before and then lodge between my back and the seat................. unfortunately the impact with the car didn't kill them, I got stung but I also ground them to paste between my back and the seat..........yeah, it hurt a lot..............would not want to deal with that in the cockpit in the air.
