Fuck that, just walk around the glider a few more times during preflight to be sure you didn't forget anything. If there were any legitimacy to what Mike and his friend are doing Fred and Eric would be doing it already.Brian Scharp - 2015/10/26

Squeezing the front wires together is also a quick and easy test. This is something I've done since the days of bulldog clamps.
A friend watched me do this last year and made it part of his preflight.
Just in time it would seem as his rear wire failed at the keel while still on the ground instead of over a volcano in Lanzarote!
