Seeking head rest for ASW-20C - or a cheap chiropracter : )
wrote on 8/18/2019 12:07 AM:
It’s for the brief nap when you have glide on home 75 miles out. Or to prevent the crap in the baggage compartment from hitting you in the head in turbulence or a rough landing. I can't remember if it was Gerhard Waibel or Martin Heide at Schleicher that told me the headrest in their gliders was there to protect the head and neck in a crash; without it, the pilot's head can snap backward in some situations. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Dec 2014a" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://soaringsafety.org/prevention/...anes-2014A.pdf
