No rumor at all. It did change in 1966 because when I started in 1967 a CFIG
was required. A friend who started a year earlier and got his commercial
glider gave instruction that summer at a CAP camp. He later got a CFIG with
only a show of paperwork. I don't think he even had to take a written and
certainly not a flight test.

Am I the only old fart on this group that remembers this stuff?
