Default Wingtip to Runway light protector Concepts

Got it, I have one flight in a Stemme, Now that I think of it, it was sorta self leveling. Wouldn't be the first description of it that would come to mind though.

While we are at it Don't forget the Caproni's two side by side main wheels. I have one flight in that one. I remember thinking that the Caproni may be the only glider I know of that an experienced pilot couldn't land safely without several instructional flights first. And, the only glider I know that the vario is the only indicator you have for detecting 5 Kt. thermals. The Caproni didn't see to offer any clues via the seat of the pants at all when we ran through one.

Neither of those flights left me with a burning desire to go out and buy either one. I prefer smaller and lighter.
