Default Another glider crash?

When I have transitioned from an aircraft that has wheelbrakes on the spoiler handle, to the L-23, which has a separate wheelbrake handle under the seat, I have landed and wondered why the brakes don't work.

Thanks for the added info, Tim.

I use to have little sympathy for those who grabbed the wrong handle and did not notice. Until I did it myself. Thoughts and prayers for the pilot, his family, partners, and all involved.
