I知 confused - Grob 109 series aircraft and Dimonas/Super Dimonas have varying max weights, up to 930kg that I know of. Are they technically in a different classification from that described above?
I知 in process of training on a Grob 109b so as to add TMG to my EASA PPL and SLMG to my U.K. PPL - I壇 like to understand the significance of all this. If I subsequently apply for NPPL with SSEA and SLMG ( which is what the original question was about) would I not be able to fly one of these particular aircraft on that licence because they are over 750kg?

Super Dimonas are good up to 770kg I think, so within the 850kg.
It's always possible to go above 850kg, but you'll need to take the aeroplane into part 23.
And, at risk of sounding like a stuck record DO NOT CONFUSE AIRWORTHINESS WITH PILOT LICENCING REGULATIONS - THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING.

Jan - if you knew me, you'd know that that's even more likely than you imagined but I can assure you that in this case it was entirely the work of my phone. I would have edited my original post but that would have made Maoraigh's post meaningless. I have spent some happy times flying SLMGs and hope to again in the near future so I have nothing against them at all. None of which means that I won't now use the term self-abuse motorised gliders now that my phone's thought of it .
