Hello:
Not trying to throw gas on the fire but the fix can be that we have a short course for all pilots of the club gliders in ground handling and tie downs. Over the years we have changed strap types and now the 2-33s have rudder locks on the pedals. A short demonstration as to how the straps work can be helpful. That being said, we may be able to practice the tie down procedure this Sunday since it will be partly cloudy and 14 mph winds.
Regards,
Rich
