John did not specify an altitude, nor a speed We normally have it
done at ground level with the glider stationary. I won't get into the
ASL/AGL debate to figure out what altitude you suggested.





However, I envisage hiker's crampons on the shoes and pitons pushed
into the wings so they could crawl out and wash the bugs off without
falling. Granted, this might make a re-finish necessary, but it's up
to the owner to decide what modifications to make, and whether the
mods would be legal for the CofA.



Sounds good.


Oh... what does "SCNR" mean?
