How could you fly a glider without a rudder and not be able to tell

Was the yaw string missing too?

Some students wouldn't know if the rudder fell off, because they never
use it anyway! It (the rudder) must weigh a good 20 pounds or so and
that much weight lost way back there would surely shift the CG out of
the forward limit. OK as long as speed is sufficient to keep elevator
authority. No Guy, my Puchacz went to Brazil and all the ad's were
complied with!
Cheers,

rudder? what's that?
