minimum weight

[netta canfi]

hi!
i am about to start soaring on an ASW15, but i have a problem - with the parachute, i still don't weigh 65 kilograms...
Does anyone know how to add ballast, and mostley - how to attach it to the seat so it doesn't slide forward?

I know of a member in our club with a weight problem too. He solved it, by making a bag with two handles. He filled the bag with a layer of lead and a layer of foam (for sitting comfort ). He's sitting on top of the bag, with the seatbelt though both the left and right handle, to avoid sliding of the bag while braking or accelarating.

Or you could do a McDonalds diet :lol:

Good idea Johan

You are very lucky to have this problem because mine has a very low weight limit of 86kg(That's why it was the deal of the year in my country!) Easy to put weight but to remove...another problem. A chance, my partner and I only weight 80kg with our chute.
