"Flying" your glider on the ground after a landout during athunderstorm or alternatives?

What have you done in this situation that has worked out well...and not? I landed out in a Pegase on a local airfield 19 km from home, shortly before a strongish rain squall blew through, so turned the glider crosswind, with the upwind wing tip on the ground and sat on the tip until it had all blown through. Got wet, but had no problems at all with the Peg trying to rotate or blow away. In that attitude the tailplane may even have given some extra down- force on the (rubber) tailskid. After the squall had gone our tug came in and towed me out. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org
