Where are most 1-26’s actually made available for sale? I am surprised that there is not more listed on the classified area of this web page. I am just beginning my search. Thank you.

Hello Marc. Thank you for your reply and information. I am located in Kansas. A long ways from Los Angeles. Not an impossible drive, but I would rather find a glider closer. BTW – I weigh 190 with aspirations of reducing my weight. Which model would be best for me? Thank you, Bret C.

at your weight if you lose a bit a B or C will work. But if you want a Parachute and can find one a D or E may give you more margin. For me, only a D or E will work and still likely no parachute for me. My 126B W&B shows 179lbs max pilot weight to stay under the 600lb Gross weight.

In review of the list of 1-26’s on this web site, some indicate “Deregistered”. Most likely, what does this mean? Thank you.

This past weekend, the weight and balance was recalculated for S/N 263 ‘Glamour Girl’. I need to lose the ten pounds that I wasn’t carrying before COVID started. There were a lot of things that stopped during the worst of the pandemic, but eating was not one of them.

Hello All,
First post here. Just picked up SN #390 from an auction and while the plane is in good shape most of the cockpit area is bare and needs to be redone. There is no seatback, floors or instrument panel. I am pretty tall at 6’4″ so chances are I would have changed these items anyhow. I have sat in a 1-26 and do fit but its tight.…Read More

Bret, Where are you located? If your not heavy I may have one for sale that is located in the Los Angeles area. Its the one I got in the estate auction and you saw the thread. Sadly I need a D or E model for my weight. This is a B model Serial Number 390. My search begins for one that will fit me while I work on the B model to get it flight worthy.
