While I would also like to invite you to come fly gliders, the operative
reg to read first if you have medical issues is 61.53(b).

true... medical issues that prevent a Class III medical certificate.. may
not hamper glider flying..

yes that is always another choice to fly gliders. Flying Light-Sport
aircraft with the Sport Pilot license will give a pilot many more choices.

If a person has a medical condition that would prevent him or her from
passing a Class III medical examination, then they DAMN SURE SHOULD NOT BE
FLYING. PERIOD!
I can understand the rationale behind not bothering with a medical to
keep the cost of flying down. I can understand the rationale behind not
bothering in the case of someone who is not interested in flying outside the
restrictions.
I just can't believe the intention of the ruling is to let a physically
unfit person fly.

That's a simplistic attitude there Casey. There are many things that
would prevent you from passing a medical that have absolutely no affect on
your flying abilities.

For example, let's say that you're having a bit of trouble sleeping, the
Doc prescribes an anti-depressant, a common solution and one that will
cause problems.

Presto, you now will not pass a medical and you could fly safely. There
are LOTS more examples of similar things that could ground you. You could
get allergies that the doc gives you a medicine that would prevent you
from passing a medical.

You are making the classic mistake of assuming that because you can't pass
a Class 3 medical you are unfit to fly, there's a lot of paper problems
that can ground you and that my friend is why many pilots look forwards to
this. They've been grounded for no good reasons.
