Wingtip to Runway light protector Concepts

If the glider's wing contacts a runway light or deflector at "landing speed" you should direct your budget at pilot training. I think the concern is that last few knots with a cross wind and no more rudder or aileron authority. But then the brake should be sufficient by that time. -- Dan, 5J Well nice theory that better training is the whole answer, primary training is where we have seen the damage - the longer wings flown by students. The last few feet with limited contrl and the wind are a factor. So an impact ever few hundred cycles is not hard to imagine.
