A lot? Well, there's one that has been flying until damaged on the ground earlier this year, an early one in the back of the hangar which used to fly but hasn't for a few years, and another which is 90% complete (another 90% to go?). There are also groups looking to build more. If you want to build one yourself, then ask a Mk 26b builder about the quality of the kit.

NB The one that has flown a good bit is only flown off hard runways due to an early issue with grass!
