Glider: Schweizer SGS 1-26A

Tail Number: N3822A | Operating Handbook

The Schweizer SGS 1-26 is a United States One-Design, single-seat, mid-wing glider built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York. The SGS 1-26 enjoyed a very long production run from its first flight in 1954 until 1979, when production was ended. The 1-26 is the most numerous sailplane found in the US. Due to its light weight, it climbs well, stalls benignly, will land in an incredibly short distance (due to the nose skid), and is an excellent glider for transitioning after solo and first cross country attempts. This glider was rebuilt by Chuck Zabinski and Jake Smith.

Glider: Schweizer SGS 2-33A

The Schweizer SGS 2-33 is an American two-seat, high-wing, strut-braced, training glider that was built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York until the late 1980s, the 2-33 was the main training glider used in North America. Ours was built in 1984 and purchased from the Wings of Eagles Museum.

The 2-33 first flew in 1965 and production was started in 1967. Production was completed in 1981. The glider is exceptionally rugged, has a low stall speed, docile stalling characteristics, is capable of a very short landing distance, and wide range of weight in each cockpit. Our glider has blocks that can be rotated in front of the rudder pedals to accommodate shorter legged people.

The Citabria is a light single-engine, two-seat, fixed conventional gear airplane which entered production in the United States in 1964. Designed for flight training, utility and personal use, it is capable of sustaining aerobatic stresses from +5g to -2g. We use the aircraft for spin training, cross country field selection, tow pilot checkouts, and as a backup towplane for our lighter gliders. Its name spelled backwards is, “airbatic”.
