I am new here. Is this about gliders that are towed by airplanes etc?
I did it once when I was just a little smaller. But now I am the size of a sumo
wrestler(: Perhaps if the gliders could handle folks like us the sport might be
in better shape even if we were not

John,

You're not as stupid as I look!

I too am built like a Sumo and would lurve to get back into gliding but alas my
AUW is far too high to ever contemplate soaring anytime in the future .. such is
my life.
