Mutations which affect flight are recessive, so if you mix in a dominant wild-type gene copy, the progeny will fly. If you mix vestigial with curly, each carries good copies of the others recessive mutation, which results in complementation and the return of flight. Mixing two different cultures of vestigial will create not complementation, thus no problems.
If the culture you purchased is the curly winged, this phenotype has variability in the degree of curled wings. Usually, some curly can fly and most can glide. Raising curly flies in lower temps. (18C if possible) will result in wings with more curl and reduce the ability of flight.
