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 />
