Ok, someone has to ask. How is it possible to takeoff without being
aware there is a stray laptop computer in the glider, and where in the
glider can it be so that it can jam controls but not be reached by the
pilot?

The only place I can think of is the fuselage aft of the spar and that
space is protected by a hard barrier in the gliders I have most of my
time in. (ASW 19 and 28)

What was he flying?
