You may be right that if I had a self launch my pure glider would
gather dust - I would probably trade it for a really nice 1-26 (with
an open canopy) and a Swift for acro. Different tools for different
jobs.

Now you're talking! A common situation in England and Europe, I've read,
where a pilot might have shares in several quite different gliders.

I consider myself to be in a rather large syndicate that owns a Janus,
two Grob twins, two PW-5's and a Libelle. Oh, and two Pawnees.
