Landing with broken rudder cable

Still inadvertent IMC in a glider is a terrifying thing and not something to be taken lightly. If you are going to fly wave you must make some preparations and think it through even if you intend to be the most cautious wave flier ever. It can still bite you.

I have a Dynon D-10a in my panel and I'm qualified to use it.Â* A lot of
these new glider computers have an attitude indicator function. It would
pay dividends to learn how to use it.

I have a great deal of experience flying in max-effort rudder-on-the-stop slips in numerous aircraft ranging from Open Jantars to K-21’s to the awesome AS-W12 and have never felt the aircraft uncontrollable. Have flown literally hundreds of patterns in full rudder-stalled slips right through the flair as this is the only way to land a -12 without using the drag chutes. Never saw a problem.
