Just imagine: You are flying a glider equipped with a gravity switch. So
long, as you let the gravity switch is in position "on", everything is as
usual. But what happens, if you switch the gravity off? Due to the drag,
the
speed will go to zero, the controlls became ineffective and the glider
will
float uncontrollable as a free balloon. It means: Without the gravity, no
gliding and no soaring is possible. What a horror imagination!!!!

It does make one wonder about guys who keep talking about ever lighter
gliders.

I don't want a switch that turns gravity off, I want one that tilts the
local gravity vector about 2 degrees from the vertical.
