Rough air limit - how is it set?
No, just calculate it by taking the square root of the mass/max gross and multiply that by Va, in the cockpit, in rotor, while dropping below glide to the nearest safe field. Simple! LOL! Of course, you could also do it safely on the ground when you first get the glider. Or simply subtract about 15 - 20 knots as a "rule of thumb". Tony V.
