WEIGHTS AND THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY POSITION
When additional equipment
is
fitted, or after repairs, or a new gel/paint finish or any
other weight change of the
glider, the empty weight and centre of gravity position
is
to
be
determined.
If the ranges of the empty weight, and the centre of gravity position (table below), and
the cockpit loading limits, are satisfied, the flying weight limitations
will
be
in
the
permitted range.
