Default What was your first glider?

My first was an HP-16. Found it in Iowa, via Trade-A-Plane (aka, The
Dreaded Yellow Pages. Dreaded because it is full of things you just
can't pass up!). Dad and a friend went partners in it, then I bought the
friend's share. Flew it a season, then bought my Zuni 2, which I still
have today, some 22 years later. She is a "til death do us part" ship.

But, since then, I have added an HP-14, 604, BS1, Ka-6CrPE....
