I once let a neighborhood kid sit im my glider while I was working on it

A friend took his DG300 to the local mall for display. An 8 year old
went over to the down wingtip and walked the wing up to the fuselage.

There's a message there - don't put a wingtip down, use two wing
stands to keep the wings level if you're going to show a glider in
public crowds. *It looks better that way anyway. *Take along someone
for crowd control if you can.

Plus, put tail boom on a stand to keep the horizontal well out of
reach and to pose the glider. One wing high, the other low strikes a
nice pose. I drilled a one inch hole in several round paving slabs,
then cut some pvc lengths and glued t-joints on top. These make good
stanchions. A bright yellow poly rope runs from stanchion to
stanchion to rope off the area and allow one point of entry/exit to
the glider area. Bring extra help.
