It looks to me as if Tango4's reference was to the
1.88m and 118kg pilot versus the usual Schempp-Hirth
placard for max seat load limit of 110kg - perhaps
this does not apply to the Discus 2B(?)


John,

You're probably right, but since I don't carry drinking water and a personal
kit in the seat with me, I assumed he was talking about useful load. I carry
those aft of the seat or in the baggage compartment. The max seat load,
including parachute is 110kg or 242lbs.

Also, Aldo mentions a DiscusC. Correct me if I'm wrong, but so far there's
only an A, B, Bt and a future 18m.

Thanks,

Mark
