Reply To: HT 26 structure

Hello Yan, I had a 1976 HT26 until last year – 'Tarla.' Since I don't have her now I can't go and take a look, but I am pretty sure she had the same beams. I would say, anyway, that they would be of structural importance. To remove them might leave you with a banana!!! The early HT26 is not, in my opinion, suitable for stoopthroughs and to do away with them would also weaken the structure – also you would lose valuable locker space in the cockpit.

Maybe someone else can comment?

Not a lot wrong with your english – better than my french I daresay!!

Good luck, Michael
