Now, I enjoy a flight in a 1-26 as much as anyone - fun little retro ship - but for a new convert to the sport, its the shiny glass that attracts!

Have not seen the article and pics yet, but will tell you that shiny also runs off many people when they find out how much it cost.

The 1-26 allowed me to purchase my first glider while the kids were still in the house, begin flying contest, and do all my badge work through diamond.

It is important to let people know that they can get in and play for the price of an old used car instead of a mortgage.

Now flying a Silent-IN.
