stop and record, then dumped the rest. This gave me a very accurate amounts
in both gallons and time (seconds to dump for any wing loading I may want

Um, no, dump speed is limited by vent (in flight and on ground).
Lower pressure on vent in flight slower dump time in flight...
Also, for that glider, enlarging vent holes makes it safer
if you fall off a ridge and need to dump fast...
