I am sitting at a Denny's in Titusville, Florida waiting to go to the visitors center at the space center with a friend who has tickets to the big show. Gonna watch the Space Shuttle take off up close and personal. The ultimate glider if you will....and hell....even if you won't. Walt

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...
