Default 1-26 for first glider, or not?

I think the best of the wood homebuilts is the Woodstock. It was the
last of the breed pretty much and benefits from the earlier designs.
But, it doesn't carry a big pilot. One just sold for $1500 with
enclosed trailer and out of annual. They fly like a dream and perform
better than the 126. Super easy to rig too. You'll never get your
money out of an old homebuilt but you don't have to put much in to
begin with so... Dusters are fine, Terns have puny airbrakes, BG12s
are flaps only, Chrokees aren't available because some chucklehead in
Kansas has cornered the market...
