Operation features:

The glider is equipped with a towing mechanism with a detachable cable. The cable could be released upon command from the glider pilot, or from the pilot of the towing aircraft (by default, LShift+D).
The airframe has interceptor spoilers with a manual mechanical drive, which, when released (by default, RAlt+B), reduce the lift of the wing and increase the drag, thereby shortening the glide path.
The front part of the glider is a crew cabin, which on the ground can be tilted upward for loading and unloading cargo or troops.
The aircraft has independent left and right pneumatic wheel brake controls. To apply either brake push the upper part of the rudder pedal.
The airplane tailwheel rotates freely and does not have a lock.
To provide shorter landing run drogue chute could be installed as modification. Maximum speed of drogue chute release (LAlt + D) is 225 km/h. After successfull landing and braking drogue chute should be jettisoned (LAlt + D).
