A wet chute can freeze in place. If leaving a glider with a chute out
overnight, dew can form on the glider and will run to the ground and

the chute and statics. My recommendation is to remove the chute
and tent,
not cover, the statics with tape.

Also check with the seller whether this Cirrus is German or VTC
built.
There are big differences.

Good advice! After deploying and on rollout I would jettison the drag
chute to minimize ground damage and then hang it in my home or
hangar until
re-packing it into the container for my next flight. Hanging lets it
unwrinkle and it stays dry.

In my experience the Open Cirrus has reasonable airbrakes (i.e.
superior to the Open Libelle, Phoebus C, and SHK) that the drag chute
isn't really that necessary - only if you had really made a pigs ear of
your field landing selection would you need it.

Glider is in good shape. Trailer is a bit ugly needs some work but towable.
I can send pics on request.

I just don't get the opportunity to fly it as I seem to be always in the back seat instructing.
I will do a walk around video this weekend and post it on youtube.

The drag chute has been removed.
