Finally, someone bothered to get the regs out.

I still believe that the G-limit is better understood
in most designs than the Vne limit, just due to the
difference in testing approach. G-loads are tested
to destruction, Vne is not.

Another difference: if *you* survived to overspeed (i.e. flutter did not
occur), your glider is still safe for you or *other pilots*

If you survived overloading (i.e. over limit G-load but the wings did
not break) your glider may be *unsafe* and next time might break well
under extreme G-load limit...
