A good review posted. A concern i’ve had during 5 past Spring Safety Meetings is how we should handle outlandings of any members while in the club gliders. The PW5 seems to be the only one that could be easily disassembled, but its trailer would have to be towed out by a remaining member(s) that have a vehicle with capable wired hitch.  The other club gliders seem impossible to take apart in field, and may need many members to do that task.Even so, do all of us know the proper tools to bring out to Site, for each SGS and Krosno, and where Trailers are identified for each (if existing), and how to hook them up??  Maybe I’ve missed something over the years, but I wouldn’t know the exact procedure steps to help one of the members get back to SSI, possibly after sundown. I could make up my own procedure, but that’s  not right. The private ship owners have their trailers with stowed tool kits, and know their tear-down procedure, so they need basic manual labor help. I would suggest an SSI landout procedure to be taught/reviewed to the Members as a Safety Topic.
