Does anyone notice a trend here? In the United States the impact of the,
little respected, 1-26 has been huge. I think if one goes back through
all
the US badges it can be found that it is the dominant US glider.

High performance sure does have its place but I have nothing but the best
of
feelings for the 1-26. Fifty years and still going very strong.
