Default Heavy pilot - what glider to opt for?

So, I am repeating the advice: lose weight!


WRT to weight management, I found that taking up a second complementary sport that does not involve sitting in a reclining chair for 4-5 hours at a stretch, and that I can do when the weather is poor for flying (in the rain) helps. I arrested and reversed my creeping weight gain this season.

Also, if it is not dangerously hot where you fly, make taking a walk at the airfield part of your routine preflight preparations. I find that the walk also boosts my alertness after that long drive to the airport.

And if you can think of nothing else... try the no_beer_no_mayonnaise diet
