Runway lights and wingspans
A useful technique with Open Class gliders landing on narrow runways with landing lights sided by grass is to land well off center and close to the lights on one side so that they pass near but under the inboard end of the wing and can't be hit by the wing (Because the wing root is higher than the light). It's non intuitive but works pretty well - except here in the in the NorthEast where they put "snow stakes" on the lights so the snow plows can find them.
