Again , all correct. The issue I was making is that the figures you see for cockpit loads on the manufacturer's brochures/web sites etc, are not what you will see once the glider is operational and too many people fail to recognise that.cockpit placard should show the cockpit load as I stated. i.e. eveything which is not normally part of the glider.
Take stinkwings. How many times have you seen something like "Oh yes, it will carry four people", but in the fine print, "with only half a tank of juice".
