No, that is not correct, Marc; there is no specified
minimum other than that required by the CG location.
110kg is 242 lbs, as you know, and gliders do not
require that the pilot and equipment must meet this
minimum.

The requirement is that the maximum must not be less
than 110kg; it was required of manufacturers to design
at least for this much maximum weight. Earlier gliders,
such as Ka-6 and, apparently, the G-102s will not carry
110kgs. On the other hand, the lowly 1-26 will carry
up to 165lbs, which is about 124.5kg.


Recheck your calcs: 1kg = 2.205 lbs
