It's not an ejection seat in the video, it's an ejectable battery being fired from the model aircraft.

Bootflap,

I would have thought that being too light for the seat would result in your clearing the aircraft by a larger margin not a smaller one???

I thought that one of the reasons for having seat weight limits was to do with CoG of the seat and the resultant thrust vector from the rocket.
