I’m working to improve 392, a B. Looking for:

Rubber seals to slip onto the wing root to avoid having to tape the wing-fuselage gap. I’ve heard 1-26’ers have found a good elastomer seal that fits onto the wing skin for this. Any ideas for a source?

Our ASI in knots😕. Looking for one in MPH with markings for an A, B, or C. Any ideas…Read More

S/N 263, aka ‘Glamour Girl’ returned to the air yesterday, July 29th. There was good lift in the area. Glamour Girl’s wings were talking to me, and that only happens in strong lift. It was a beautiful day for soaring! Two more flights were completed today – it’s good to have S/N 263 flying again.

Will there be a gathering of 1-26 owners at…Read More
