Bruce,
I don't know what the insurance arrangements are in
the places you fly, but what would worry me here in
the UK is this:
Flight outside placarded limits is outside CofA.
Flight without CofA is uninsured.
Are you sure you're covered in the event of a prang?
It's an easy get-out for an insurance company faced
with a potentially big claim.
Rob

I believe the same would apply here in the USofA..
obvious flight over max weight limitations.. no insurance coverage..
don't forget that some of those gliders also have, max weight for non
lifting parts
you may be within the Max GW, but not the max of the non lifting parts
