Default Pacific D-8 Sailplane

There was a partially completed (or partially repaired, hard to tell)
example at Turf Soaring a few years ago - absolutely scary! It didn't
appear to have any substantial wing carrythrough structure, and the
control surfaces were very sketchily attached.

Perhaps it was a bad example, but I wouldn't even think of flying one
of those! Too many nice 1-26s getting dusty in hangars...
