Default Max weight of K21

For the K21 the maximum front seat load is 110kg (242lbs). This is the
handbook figure, and is the maximum design weight for the seat.

If the K21 is flown solo the maximum front seat weight by moments (without
putting the glider C. of G. forward of the forward limit) is much higher,
certainly above 300lbs, but that weight is way above the load for which the
seat structure is designed.
