I was comparing gliders for a 15m task and noticed that you cannot max wing loading in the DG808. Specs say 10.4 lbs/sqft however I can only set it to 10.1 lbs/sqft in the hangar. I'm not sure this is correct as all other gliders the two match.

Re: DG808 Max wing loading
15 meter class has a restriction of 525 kg (1157 lbs) MTOW in the FAI rules. The DG808-15 has a MTOW of 540 kg. But it is restricted to 525 kg when selecting it in 15 meter class.
If you calculate with 1157 lbs the wingloading is correct.

Thanks for explaining that Wickid. It's not something that had even crossed my mind ref max weight allowed for the class.
