When gliders fail in flight, but pilots manage to land
Broken rudder cable in a Puchacz. Used ailerons to sideslip it all
the way to landing and full airbrakes that reduced rudder effectiveness by about half. Interesting approach and landing across the field. Loose gapseal in LS4 in spiraldive on aileron. Unable to roll out until combination of opposite aileron, rudder and full airbrakes slowly overcame it.
