Comparison of glider classes at Uvalde...
What is the optimum G for the pullup?
Or is it more a matter of pulling to ClMax - so an AOA gauge is really needed?
Let's say a generic 15 meter flapped ship, at 8psf and 145 knots - my gut feel is about a 3 g pull while simultaneously setting some flap (0 or +5) is close to optimum. Pull to about 40 degrees nose up, ease off to 1 g, then roll off to let the nose drop to level (no bunt).
How do the rest of you do it?
