Actually that glider only has one wheel (about the same size as a wheel barrow wheel)
The glider will only lean to one side when the speed is very slow or if there is a very severe cross wind, it is possible to balance the glider level if the wind is strong enough when stationary as that day would have been. We also always land into wind when possible so that also stops the glider from falling over!
