Curious, why do you say that?
Yes, I started (decades ago) in a 2-33, soloed, went to a 1-26, then a 1-34 (couple flights) then (after going up in a Cessna -150 to learn flaps......."flaps down, nose down......flaps up, nose up") I went through a 1-35 and a PIK-20.
Since then a few more "SGS", 2 place Lark, as well as a list of ASW sailplanes (-24 and up).
Also a CFIG for about 8 years.

Maybe it was my primary instructor (Uncle Hank), doubt it was my ability.

Just curious why you made the comment?
