So what was your first glider, how did you find it, how long did you
fly it, did you keep it or quickly out grow it? *Would love to hear
your stories...

First glider was a Schweizer 1-26D. Did my Silver badge in it in the
first 6 months I owned it. Kept it for many years and it became one of
our club ships back then. It's gone to another owner, but we still
have 3 1-26's in the family. Oldest is #002 which is our club glider
set aside for our juniors to fly. My 14 year old grandson recently
checked out in it and is working toward his Silver. I fly it a couple
times a year for fun when it isn't worth rigging one of the fancy
ships.
Still have fun with those old basic ships. Fun per dollar is
unmatched.
