"dwarf

Can't say that it's overwhelmingly popular in the US, either. The World
Class US Nationals have been running concurrently with the 1-26
Championships, and it seems like there are 4 to 5 times as many 1-26s as
there are PW-5s.

Short Wings Gliders might account for 5 pct of world fleet
if 20 percent of the world's gliding pilots are interested
it will be a great success!!!!!

it makes sense..........
1-26 700 built for usa only
PW-5 200 built for the world

unless Arnold's friend comes around and pull out another
Judas trick like he did here in the last supper:
