Puchacz New Cautionary Tale/Tail

How could you fly a glider without a rudder and not be able to tell something is very wrong???? Was the yaw string missing too? Boggs My thoughts exactly! Whilst not wishing to undermine the obvious safety message about ensuring the rudder is firmly attached to the aircraft, this missive has the distinct odour of urban myth... If I recall correctly, one of the very first lessons in gliding is the secondary effects of using the controls. This includes adverse yaw due to aileron movement without rudder!
