Trim? In a 1-26?

I've seen one once. Never flown one. Couldn't possibly comment.

Actually, Lennie has a good point. In typical Schweizer fashion, the
trim in a 1-26 is usually (always?) a joke.

Fortunately, unlike the 2-33, the 1-26 pretty much doesn't need much
trimming due to it's light elevator forces.

Just in case, it's worth checking that the trim control is in the full
forward position prior to takeoff, especially if the pilot is light
and you are not familiar with that particular 1-26 (since they may
vary quite a lot!).

Still a fun little glider to fly, all things considered.
