Default Nice tip worked - Schleicher cockpit handles

The most important cockpit checkout given to me when I got my ASG29
was from Steve Koerner (GW), who suggested this very simple checklist
item for the landing pattern: "right side handles forward". So if
you're fatigued or not thinking straight and the eyes can't parse
words or diagrams just remember right side handles forward (thus water
ballast and main gear).

I gave the same tip to N7 when he took my 29 to Uvalde. Ralph flew the
entire last practice day with the gear down, and upon entering the
landing pattern, reached for the main gear handle to "put it down".
Something didn't seem right to him, and he remembered the GW tip --
right-side handles forward. The main gear handle was already there, so
he left it alone.

Nice to know that good advice was well applied!

Can't wait for my chance to fly in Uvalde (and you can bet it will be
with a PowerFLARM).
