you don't get better landings with wheels. Personally, I don't want wheels because there is some crap at the start in a lot of wind. But, of course, you can save material with the use of wheels.

@@jandahlberg6255 You do get much better landings with wheels in many situations, when you are judging your landings on damage to glider or pilot. I always like having wheels for three reasons. First of course is safety and the chance that the wheels might save you or your glider from some injury or broke down tubes (or worse). Second, when sharing tight, crowded thermals, especially low at launch, having wheels may cause the pilots around you to think you are less experienced and they may give you more space, often allowing you to work the core of the thermal. Third ….. when you are topped out above all the other gliders, it is amusing, knowing that the gliders below you are muttering “who is that beginner with the wheels that is specked out above me” 🙃
Beautiful! One allmost in to water :D Phiuf!
2:23 the tail made approach to landing much more stable
Why do the pilots not have wheels?
