We're doing great with hang glider pilots with worn out shoulders

But some of us with worn out hang gliding shoulders are having
trouble driving the flap handle after several hours of same. Don't
tell them that though.


Multiple solutions:

* Standard class!
* Put the flaps in neutral and leave them alone. Probably in the correct
position just as often.
* Fly a DuckHawk or SparrowHawk R with electrically actuated flaps.
* Land sooner - worst option yet!
