Maybe "purist" means "Made in America", which kind of limits the
choices!



It seems a little strange to me that a sailplane built from a kit, such as
an Apis (http://www.apisgliders.com/kit.html), is not included. Or, maybe
couple vintage/classic gliders. After all the EAA is the organization that
advocates for home built aircraft, antique aircraft, war birds and
acrobatics.

The organization also has a large Ultralight contingent. That is where the
SparrowHawk fits.

I really don't see where the Ximango fits.
