When I tell people I hang glide they say, "that's a sport? I guess I always thought you just hang there." I explain that we controlling the aircraft without any motors, (keep it simple and leave out the mosquito), and only one instrument. Our calculating brains, our the stamina of our bodies, and old fashioned lucky weather can keep us up there for hours!

They always ask, what muscles do you use? I have started here a list of everyday activities the wuffos in our lives can relate to.

Please add more in the comments!
