Is the way the gargoyles glide accurate? How long, realistically, can they be expected to be able to stay up there? How long can hangliders stay up? Are there two gs in hangglider? Why do their clothes also turn to stone?
ursulav has written a comprehensive analysis (http://www.metalandmagic.com/Pages/Galleries/ramblings/Ramble4.html) of wingspans on fantasy creatures. It was written more for the furry art community, but it still applies here.
I don't think the curse which causes them to change into stone is biological, so maybe it affects their clothes as well.
::snicker:: That always bugged me too! They wear the same clothes! But I guess for their time period, they would. Oh well. I always imagined that the clothes turning to stone cleansed it somehow.
And aren't they born with the turning-to-stone-during-the-day feature? They're not really cursed individually, except for their really long nap!
