    I did some playing with a loose WG by using a floor type bicycle pump with
    a good gauge. You can watch the WG actuate in a controlled manner and
    change things as you wish.

    The dynamics aren't the same but it may give you a safer starting point.

    I had my loose Dani kit WG to play with.
