The challenge (with an intended joke of a name) is not about 1-26s, 2-33s, PW-5s or even OS/X high sierra. It's more about:
I'd sometimes be met on landing the ASH26E by a friend carrying two cold beers. He'd check the temperature of the engine bay doors before handing one over, and rightly so!
May the Schwartz be with you,

I'm often met on landing by my crew, who puts the tail dolly over boom. I pop it
into place, and then we push the 26E to the tiedown. She's all smiles that I made
it back and never feels the engine bay doors. She says "This glider is the best
one we've ever had, because it always makes it back!" After 40 years, 20 of them
retrieving, and now 20 of not retrieving, she really, really likes the one with
the motor.

Priorities - get them right, and your honey will be there with you...
