Interesting that Steve would relate that some gliders are only required to have an ASI...
In Canada, the regulations require ASI, Alt and Compass... possibly a two-way radio (depending on the airspace).
There's a lot of overlap between Canadian and U.S. regs; that's an odd deviation.

Those only required to have an airspeed are 1-26 and 2-22. Old
stuff. I think the 2-33 is required to have more. Altimeter and
compass, I think. I am more than willing to add more than the
absolute minimum to my panel, but I am always cautious of requiring
more than I need to safely fly under certain conditions. And if I
don't have what is needed to fly a specific day, well then, I won't
fly that day.
