[QUOTE="CaptainC, post: 8609125, member: 129782"] I’m currently around 123kg and 6ft 3, so not sure how many I’d fit in. I used to be staff at a Volunteer Gliding Squadron where we operated the Grob 109B “Vigilant” and max seat weight was 110kg. We had to wear a parachute which weighed 7kg, so the absolute max we could be was 103kg - I was just over that when I started so hit the gym and got down to around 98kg. It still limited the fuel so as not to exceed MTOW, but I could get up for about an hour… plus as it was a TMG, we could turn the engine off and glide extending the endurance if required. [/QUOTE]
