TIP: Practice inflating your glider and
making short flights on a training
hill.

tolerances. However, flying over the maximum weight further increases the dynamic flight
behaviour. In small bubbles, the wing has more horizontal momentum and less tendency towards
lifting. A test flight is always recommended if in doubt.
