Default 18m Nationals weight restriction at Seminole

It would be interesting to hear more specifics on what is planned. The big issue seems to be launches on rwy18. Rwy36 has a nice runoff area and plenty of fields north of the airport. South is mostly trees. For the Seniors, they stage some of the heavy gliders off the end of runway 18 and push them one by one on to the grid after the others gliders have launched. Perhaps the plan is to accommodate a handful of heavy gliders that way. That plan would certainly not work for all of the 30+ gliders that have signed up..
