I went for a passenger flight in a 1-36 once. As whatever inputs I made did not seem to do anything i logged it as a passenger flight! It would make a great Drone. Better still a target drone.

There used to be a 1-36 drone out at Edwards. They had a 1-36 and a PIK motorglider sitting in the NASA hangar. Seems like the 1-36 was flown both with and without a pilot. I think I remember seeing a picture of the 1-36 flying (falling) with a "dethermalizer" tailplane setup for high angles of attack research.
