Default Seeking head rest for ASW-20C - or a cheap chiropracter : )

There was a lot of concern at Moriarty during the recent 1-26 contest.Â*
Many pilots of glass and carbon ships were worried about being rear

Right, injury would be more common in a car from a rear-end hit,
in a glider the headrest is to prevent injury on the rebound.
Or so it was explained to me...
