This is how the Schweizer SGS 1 gliders (1-26, 1-34, 1-35, 1-36) family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N29ES, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
Valid registration to August Aero LLC, an LLC, certificate issued September 14, 2021, expires September 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated March 14, 1979, 14 years after the 1965 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 318 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N29ES according to the deregistered file. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 28, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N29ES. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
