After attending the 2025 1-26 Championships at the Merlin Airport, I knew the 1-26 was for me. So, I started my quest to find one upon my return home to Tennessee. I figured a D or E model would be my only real choice as I’m on the heavier side and felt these would have the best useful load. I didn’t think it would take very long to find one,…Read More

Seems we are living a parallel life. I’ve just recently acquired a 1-26E bringing it back to life and relocating it to Minnesota. “Marg” has her own FB page here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575298080670

Hi Jeff, thanks for letting me know. I’ll be following your progress on Marg’s restoration. What a shame having a beautiful little bird like that sitting idle for over 40 years. Then again, what a great find for you!
