As far as the gliders go, I had my 1-26 and was happy with it, I was
even happy with it after I had flown it.

Dammit, Lennie, you keep putting reasons in front of me to visit the
States again - I really must fly a 1-26 to see why so many pilots like
them.


That's funny, Martin picked up on the positive note! AND..he will
spend some pounds in the US to fly our beloved 1-26! BTW, There is a
good chance that most altitude Diamonds were flown in that type of
ship. 30 Years ago droves of people from all over the world, picked up
their diamonds in the Mine at Black Forrest Gliderport in Colorado
Springs.

Guess there is a reason Lennie calls himself the Lurker. He initially
meant to
just DO that. If he would just keep away from that keyboard unless he
had some positive thoughts? I learned something about Steel!

Lets all be very positive and the sport will SOAR.
