No. It could just have easily been the kid in the front seat grabbing
the stick. Or his mother. Maybe a result of panic from the radio warning.
I'm cool with consenting adults only, flying in gliders. i.e. you
must be 18 or older.
Perhaps somebody here operates an IS28? If so please give us the
weight and balance numbers and cockpit placards and we can see what 5
to 7 Kg of tail dolly left on can do.
There have been numerous instances of gliders flying quite
successfully with the dolly attached. It is also a fact that gliders
are tested with the C of G 20mm behind the placarded aft limit
including spin recoveries.
I agree with Tom. Radio warnings can hurt as much as they help.
Haven't we had a couple of nasty damage accidents which would have
only been normal belly landings if not for the last moment attempts
to get the gear down?
This season has been a terrible one so far in North Amercia for
fatalities. One 11000 hour pilot and aircraft mechanic on r.a.s.
recently said he maybe should maybe reconsider his involvement in the activity.
