If your glider was certified with an Approved Flight Manual, as all
JAR-22 gliders are, FAR's require you to operate in compliance with
that manual.

Please be more specific. What particular FAR requires me to operate
my experimental (racing and exhibition) ASW-28 in compliance with the
flight manual?

The Experimental Operating Limitations contain specific extracts from
the flight manual that I am required to comply with. If content of
the flight manual was not extracted and included in the Experimental
Operating Limitations I am not aware that is has any regulatory
significance.

The flight manual extracts included in my limitations relate only to
maximum gross weight, allowable CG range, and maximum operating
speeds.

Sure, I recognize that it would be good practice to read and comply
with the flight manual, but that is not the same as being required to
do so by federal regulation.
