Why would you use a big ugly coil spring,
when you can easily make the arm springy ?
Needs no loose parts and easier attach,
just because a girl can do it doesn't mean
a glider pilot can....

See ya, Dave

ya know, that is a pretty cool looking contraption, but from a
homebuilder point of view, making it out of aluminum tubing, extrusion
and flat sheet is much easier and less labor intensive. might be a bit
heavier, but not much. of course the wing cuff would be composite!

Looks sleek but you need three hands to put it on the wing. Also, not
that you'd do it all that often but I would not be inclined to tow the
glider nose first with that long trailing arm. It would be
directionally unstable like a weather vane pointing downwind.

I wondered about that, too. I wonder if she put it on backwards?

Look again, she put it on the correct way. Maybe towing tail first is
not how Y'all do it?
