To get the absolute maximum acceleration possible for a glider, just
divide a gliders flying weight into its specified weak link strength.
(Tost weak links are now calibrated to +or- 5%) That value is always
around 1.2G - if you don't believe it, read your manual.


Hmmm... Must really go and check the manuals. Or my maths.

IIRC mine (a newer AS model) says 750 or 800daN allowable, my flying
weight is normally around 390kg. So that's close to 2g.
We use 1000daN weak links for the ASK21 (empty 360kg according to AS
homepage), so with two occupants around 540kg. That's also around
1.9g!
