The Schweizer 1-26 is a fun-to-fly single place glider!  It maneuvers quite well, has great visibility with the shoulder wing and is most roll-responsive.  This plane is a good ship to transition into after you have sufficient  training in the Schweizer 2-33.

The Blanik L-13 is our transition glider for cross country soaring and spin training. It has Fowler flaps, dive brakes, retractable gear and a respectable L/D of 28:1. It is quite responsive in all phases of flight training.
