Chris, in my opinion, your weight should be based on being optimal for your health and not on being optimal for your wing loading.

Bob: My current weight which Hovers around, Plus or Minus 200 LBS. is while not being the optimum weight for a Pilot who fly's a 158 Predator. That being said. as a Six foot three and a Half inch tall Man. 200 Pounds would not be called unhealthy by anyone, or on a Chart that gave Height and weight numbers. I do not think that any chart would show that I am Obese. As of Late: I have found Myself being More Active. My overall feeling is that I feel good, for whatever "Feeling Good" means? I really do feel a lot like I did when I was a Teenager.

I hope to get Myself out to Goat-Rock so that I will be able to see how well, and smoothly that I can accelerate my body from a Standing Position. MY going to the Coast, is with a purpose. For on the Sand, I will be able to accelerate My Body all the way to a run, without the Worry that if I were to fall. My Skull and Brain would not suffer a Severe Impact. Yes, Sand is soft.

"FLYING THOUGHTS". I want to ask You Guys this: What is better than thinking about Flying? I say to actually Fly again for Me will be oh Awesome thing that I might well adventure that I most likely will ever do in My Entire Life. I really do mean it when I say how Awesome an Aerial Flight, Experience will be. For even if I will simply launch from a Training Hill. If I Fly only say up to Fifteen feet in the Air, and then commence My Landing that will Very well ight end with My whacking John's W-W Alpha Single Surface into the Ground. As dreadful a thing to do, would be to Whack a Glidr. I will do this whack feeling such Joy, Zeal, a True sense of Great Joy.

Yesterday, My Fellow Pilot-Friend PILot X Picked up My Predator here at My Mother's House in CAzadero California. See, John needs to perform a IRAN on My Predator, then Test Fly it. Of course as part of the Flight Test that John does when Test Flying My Predator. John will LOop MY PRedator.

Having John HEiney as a Flying Friend Who just happened to design the all around greatest Flex wing as One of My Closests Flying Friends, is just so beyond COOL.
