ARE PURE GLIDERS ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION?


You just wouldn't listen to the Militant Band of 1-26 Pilots, would
you?!?!?!?

Of course, aluminum and fabric "pure" gliders should be around for a
long, long time...look at the precedent already set by tube-n-fabric
power planes!

When the last electron stops spinning, the savvy 1-26 pilot flies on
with calibrated posterior, a Winter or Sage mechanical vario...and a
Replogle barograph...

C'mon, you'll love being the pilot of an "antique fiberglass slipper"
when the pure glider is "extinct." Embrace the past...it actually IS
your future!
