Default Altimeter Setting

I'm not taking sides in this big-endian/little-endian debate but
citing 91.121 has dubious merit.

it says ...
(a) Each person operating an aircraft shall maintain the cruising
altitude or flight level of that aircraft, as the case may be, by
reference to an altimeter that is set....

Cruising altitude and level flight have no applicability to the
operation of gliders. 91.121 has no significance for gliders flying
tow, and glide to landing, operations.
