Put it on the up-wind wing, climb in and hold full stick away from the down wing. The ship will roll straight as an arrow on main, tail and WING-RUNNER. You can't tell its on there (no yaw into the wheel can be noted) E-mail me for photos. $99.95 and I pay the shipping. * * *

I bought one from JJ a few years ago. I have not had to use it yet,
but I carry it with me on every flight. It is very nicely made,
lightweight, and sturdy. It take up little to no room in the cockpit
and fits easily on the storage space behind my head in the glider. I
highly recommend it!

Same here. Bought one, always carry it with me and used it couple of times successfully. I found it helpful not only for aero retrieves but also for field landing if you need to push your glider a significant distance it is much easier with the wing runner.
