Group,

Are plans available? Has anyone ever done it? I bet SSC could sell
the dickens out of plans and kits if they made them available. I bet
it would be a quick build too! Thoughts?

From Practical Experience:
The 1-34 is a great club type ship. Easy to fly, reasonable
performance, can be stored outside.
What is NOT, is easy to build. I and my partner have brought 4 back
from the dead, mostly having wing damage. The structures are
conventional, but complex, with a lot of pieces. In particular, the
fuselage has a lot of parts, many machined. By comparison, the 1-26 is
quite simple. BUT it has less performance.
It is no surprise that Schweizer stopped producing the 1-34. It is
simply too complex for really economical manufacture, and thus totally
unsuited for home building.
But, if you can find a good project- go for it.
