Leigh, Battery, tie-down kit and instruments are normally included during the weighing of the glider. The usable cockpit load only includes the pilots, parachutes, water bottles, lunch, maps etc. Cheers, John G. (With some TIF candidates though, even the seat load limit of 110 kg is exceeded. Whether the club decides to still accept such passengers or not, is their informed choice.)JHG _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
