What's the L/D on a C-47? Does it come in a kit? What do you use for a

tug?

Maybe I should phrase my question thus: Even a slender rough and tough

me
isn't going to weigh less than 220. Seriously. So should I just give up

this
soaring dream and go back to fuel-sucking noisemakers?

Perhaps my question was too tongue-in-cheek, but it was a serious
nonetheless.

Thanks,

Curt

You can be so fat that you have to be lifted out of your room with a
Sikorsky Skycrane just to go to the crapper. You will just need a C-47

for
a
glider. If you want to fit into any of the other ones, you might

consider
burning a little more than you consume for a while. A half hour walk a

day
until the vernal equinox should just about do it.

Or, as an alternative, I would suggest, as an appetite suppressant,

taking
up smoking profusely.
