Last Thursday, March 25, the Sierra wave was in prime form. I took off from the Minden, Nevada airport at 6:46am in my ASH-26E and flew a Free 3 TP task landing at California City at 5:03pm for an estimated distance of 1,633 km. This flight was similar to my SOARING magazine article of last year...

I recently rescued a 1-26C and 2-22C from long term storage included in a deal for another aircraft I intend to keep. When stored both gliders were in pretty good condition but accumulated a lot of mouse debris mainly in the lower fuselages. The seat cushions are gone as are the logs and paperwork....

Ron Schwartz got off tow a little before 7 a.m. after a launch from Blairstown. He has a declared 1000K 3 turnpoint in the box. While the synoptic picture isn't classic, it seems to be working. Local winds picked up shortly after sunrise and reporting stations along the route are currently...

Anyone know why the 1-26 association website is down?

Does the Assn. have complete results of contests back to 84 posted somewhere? -- Ken Kochanski

Hey Folks, As CD of the competition, I was especially happy to see 20 1-26s signed up for the 2019 1-26 Championships at Moriarty! We are working hard to make this a really fun event for all experience levels. Low performance ships are also very welcome to participate! Performance range up...

Hello fellow glider/sailplane pilots... many years ago I had the opportunity to see a movie that featured two 1-26's chasing each other around the sky, down a mountain-side, thermalling, etc. I have looked for a copy of this movie a few times but have never been able to find it, save one time and...

I had been browsing 1-26's looking for my first glider and had a few sellers tell me the 1-26 would not be happy in Florida due to the humid environment. Is this because the fuselage frame is made from steel rather than aluminum and prone to rusting? I know there are plenty of 1-26's here in...

The trailer configuration for our club's 1-26 uses a steel tube that is passed through the aft wing attach recepticals. This tube keeps the fuse stable on the trailer. Anyone know off hand what the largest "off the shelf" diameter tubing will go through that aft wing pass through? No, I wasn't...

The top two OLC point-getters in the US for June 6th were both 1-26 guys in California. Doug Levy and George Powell posted flights of 544 km and 415 km. Pretty cool.

Hey Guys, Yesterday was amazing! We maxed out our first server of 64 pilots and another 15 flew on the second server! It was a blast flying Sweet Red again. https://soaringeconomist.com/2020/04/10/1-26-extravanganza/ Tonight we are in Ridge North 2, flying out of Mifflin again. See you then!

Hi, can anyone get me in touch with Doug Levy who just did that amazing trip in his 1-26? (https://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/flightinfo.html?flightId=29985838) The German/Swiss soaring magazine is asking me to interview him about that ride. Simply reply to or if...

I know I will get replies on each end of the spectrum... but for a first glider, low time pilot, it seems like a 1-26 would be a good choice. Easy to fly, easy to land in tight spaces, cheap to maintain, and very common and there are a few 1-26 groups, so help is available. It's inexpensive (well...

Hi all. The 1-26E for Condor 2 is well advanced, should be released in a couple of months. I need some help. Looking for cockpit decals/placards. Ideally a graphic file rather than a photo, but if the photo is good, then that would help. You should be able to email me at the address given above,...
