Most glider pilots will only make the mistake of releasing on a rudder
waggle one time.. if they survive that.. and then a discussion is had at
ground speed = zero... they may remember.
But then again.. some will repeat the mistake a second time... As a CFIG ..
that bugs me..
As a tow pilot.. and I cant' get a radio call in because of all the unneeded
chatter on the CTAF.. If I'm climbing ok, I'll wait to make the radio call..
but if I'm not climbing and need those spoilers closed NOW.. I'll wag the
rudders.. if the glider pilot decides he needs to release.. he made the
decision and my problem as tow pilot is solved.

Two recent incidents which all sounds too familiar and we can all
learn from them:
1 - Another spoilers out/rudder waggle resulting in premature release
- How many more of those we need till we conclude that the rudder
waggle does NOT work? What happened to radio communication?

2 - Another restricted control due to unsecured item. I bet this
caused more accidents then we know of.
