Amateur-built experimental [was accident in San Antonio, TX]
Back to original question.
I believe the Caproni was launched without properly connecting one of
those wingy things. If so, it should be obvious that the pin had not
been fully extended until flush by being turned with the tool provided.
A shame, I had probably my best thermal ever in that glider. Eighteen
knots confirmed with the altimeter and stopwatch.
Hopefully the pilots are OK...
