Default Heavy pilot - what glider to opt for?

Dan et al:
The stone is an old-fashioned unit of measure... Like cubits and spans, fathoms, furlongs per fortnight, etc.
Divide the stone by 14, only people with the same passport I have use that measure, to get pounds, which possibly only people with the same passport as yours use.
When did the 110kg max cockpit weight figure come into play? Pilots like Pete could search prior models to that date.
