5 Performance<br />
5.4 Remarks<br />
Based on the rules of the Light Sport Aircraft airworthiness standards<br />
the maximum dimension is defined by the weight of the glider to be<br />
towed, without consideration of tower glider aerodynamics. During<br />
the flight test with the DG-1000T a maximum permissible glider<br />
weight of 1.580 lb has been demonstrated.<br />
For glider with a maximum permissible glider weight of 1.580lb, but<br />
less favourable aerodynamics than the DG-1000T, a lower climb rate<br />
and significantly longer take-off distance are to be expected.<br />
Inexperienced pilots should start with an one person lightweight<br />
glider and increase the glider weight step by step.<br />
