Who got to pick the PW-5 for world class? What were they

We have a PW-5 in my club and it hardly ever gets flown. When it
does
fly, it tends to stay locally even though our club promotes and
encourages cross country soaring. That glider just doesn't have long
enough legs
to run with.
Snip...

we've got a PW-5 in our club and the owner has been really active
after getting his Private last summer and has done some cross country
flying. The idea that the PW-5 doesnt have long enough legs to go
cross country is laughable. I was thermalling with him over memorial
day and when we left the thermal he said goodbye. And I have better
performance than the 1-26! by the way the 1-26 association just
happens to be winning the OLC in the US at the moment...

Hey! No sense letting a guy named Osama hog religious extremism in the
cause of 'good.' Hating PW-5s seems an acceptable substitute for some!

Now...who wants to be the first in this thread to bring up Hitler?

P.S. Scott A. - you'll need to raise your level quite a bit to count as
a religious extremist in the PW-5 wars!
