In fact there's still some
records set in 1-26s that have yet to be broken by them slippery white
ships, like Paul Bikle's altitude gain back in '61 of 42,305 ft out in
the California desert in an E-model just like ours. I read it in one of
them SSA magazines we got in the outhouse.

According to the FAI, the record was set in a 1-23E. Still, closer to a
1-26 than to a fiberglass glider.
