I have an opportunity to buy a glider with a parachute, both of which are weight limited. That’s all the motivation I need ... diet started .... 40lbs to go!


Here a couple of possibilities:
1. Put him in a 2-seater solo.
2. Get a DG400 and remove the engine (this requires a new weight & balance and likely adding lead weight in the tail.
