The SGP 1-1 is the first Glider built by the Schweizer brothers and was designed after the popular German training gliders of the 1920-1930 period by Ernest Schweizer. It was constructed over the course of one year by members of the Mercury Glider Club with $150 which the club raised.

Only a replica of the original glider remains which was built for the Schweizers by a group of volunteers, led by Ernest Schweizer, in 1989. The replica was flown by the brothers prior to being donated to the National Soaring Museum.

Like the original, it is constructed completely of wood, with fabric-covered wings, struts and tail surfaces and is designed to be towed behind an automobile to rise off of the ground. The SGP 1-1 Primary is the aircraft in which the three brothers learned to fly and is rumored that some years went by before the brothers began to initiate turns in the craft.

From this humble beginning, however, they eventually went on to design and construct an improved glider, the SGU 1-2 and to form the longest-lived aircraft company in history. From 1937 until 2004, the Schweizer Aircraft Corporation has been building a variety of aircraft including a long line of sailplanes have operated the oldest glider port in the world near their factory headquarters in Elmyra New York.

The maiden flight of the Schweizer SGP 1-1 took place June 19th, 1930 when Ernie, Paul A., and William Schweizer were 18, 17, and 12 years old, respectively.
