Be careful Brad. Some of the safety primates read this site too...

I noticed the lack of a PCC as well, and thought that was kind of poor
form. They did do a control check, meaning that they made sure things
moved and opened and closed. The Discus and many other modern
sailplanes all now have automatic control hookups. So what is the risk
of not performing a PCC with automatic hookups? Has anyone with one of
these modern ships ever had a problem that was discovered during a
PCC?
