Don’t have a hangar, so planning on tying down the glider, a standard cirrus, during the weekend. Has any one done this consistently. How bad did the gel coat deteriorate; any tips? Curiously enough, there do not seem to be broken trees close by. Were the stakes pulled out, or did the ropes fail? Spar damage? I tie down a PIK summer only and use a deep anchor chained to the CG hook. JMF

Why is the glider's wheel retracted?Â* And how was that accomplished with the glider sitting on its back?Â* Here is another photo that shows a close-up of the landing gear area. The glider was tied out with the gear down separate from the trailer. Obviously the gear mechanism was damaged and the gear retracted on its own. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AvUur2HHyXlUhvl-Op01tLPIvwAeJQ
