It's a Discus with self connecting controls, so fairly hard to get wrong.
The most important things are remembering to fix the tailplane and put the
main pin in.

Some years ago a pilot at our club forget to do the latter. The glider
amazingly survived a launch, a short flight and a circuit, with the wings
being held on only by friction, but they fell off shortly after touchdown.
The pilot wasn't hurt, but quite a lot of damage was caused to the glider.

The fact that this crew omitted the control check is really kind of dumb.

If something had gone wrong, it would have spoiled their whole day.
