It is ...Yeah, it's a glider. A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweizer_SGS_1-26" rel="nofollow">Schweizer 1-26</a>.<br /><br />It is relatively low performance as gliders go, min sink is 174 ft/min and the span is 40'. <br /><br />The latter helped a little, clearing <i>almost</i> all the fences.. ( my span is 15m or 50 feet ) but the poor glide performance didn't help.<br /><br />He tried to clear the ridge with nowhere near enough altitude, and ended up making the best of a very bad situation. He did manage to fly it all the way to the stop, and didn't stall/spin.
