While on the ground, two legs extend below the engine, keeping the propeller from striking the ground. Once airborne, the pilot closes the leg zipper on the harness and the two extended legs automatically fold along the harness for least possible drag. The landing is very easy. The pilot can flare or run out the glider, whichever is most convenient. It is just important for the pilot to remember to open the leg zipper–which extends the legs– and to switch off the engine.
