Buyer checklist

No ADs published since 1998 match the Schweizer SGS 1-26B airframe; engine ADs depend on the engine installed. 22 NTSB events since 1982 involve Schweizer SGS 1-26B airframes. Check each aircraft's own record before you buy.

  • Read the logbooks for the airframe, engine and propeller, start to finish.
  • Check AD compliance records against the ADs that may apply.
  • Look for damage history and Form 337 major repairs and alterations.
  • Have an independent A&P or IA do a pre-buy inspection.
  • Run a title search and use escrow for the payment.
