Right now Ron Schwartz is on course for a 1000km attempt out of Blairstown NJ in his schweizer 1-26. Who says you need glass or high L/D to go far.
You can track his flight on the ssa.org live tracker. Go Ron!

Would that be the first 1,000k in a 1-26?

If accomplished, yes, I believe it would be.

looks like Ron landed back at Blaristown. 643 km by the tracking page. Not too shabby. A nice warmup flight. The days are getting longer
