I have noticed several occurrences with either the spoilers, the gear or a
combination of those. Came up with a nice solution for our new Ventus 2cxT. Have a look at http://home.wxs.nl/~kpt9/gear.htm Karel Termaat NL "Janos Bauer" schreef in bericht ... My condolences...  Just another spoiler accident: Last month (08.08) an IS29D2 preparing for xc took off with deployed spoilers. The tow pilot noticed it and tried to inform the pilot (there was no radio). The pilot didn't closed the spoilers and at the end the glider was released right over the airport. The pilot realized the higher than expected sink rate and tried to glide to the nearest thermal where other gliders were circling. At half distance he realized that he couldn't make it. Still not aware about the opened spoilers!! Turned back to the airport and because of the reduced l/d hit some buildings and finally landed on a road. There was no traffic on this road at that time... /Janos
