Diana-2 and overall performance discussion

Hey! Are you implying that most American pilots are grossly
overweight? Oversized? Supersized? I have seen few such specimens. The
population as a whole, O.K. but glider pilots? You simply can't be fat
and fit into most gliders. I agree that fitness is an important
element but not just for competition flying. I exercise on a regular
basis and am wiped out after a hot day of rigging, flying, helping
others. etc. I couldn't imagine being out of shape and doing it.
Granted, I am 53 years of age. Now, back to my bacon double
cheeseburger and excellent American beer. "Honey, can you hand me the
remote? This damn LazyBoy is stuck again"
