Max Weight of Non Lift Producing Components
In addition to max gross weight, some glider manuals specify a max weight for non lift producing components. But I haven't found much discussion of the significance of exceeding the max or information that would allow one to calculate the weight of non-lifting components (like a breakout showing the weights of the wings, etc.)
Would appreciate some discussion by those in the know. Tom
