If it's the ex-LGC example, it has many thousands of winch launches. OK, it's not aerobatics, but it certainly isn't as stress free as an aerotow.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] ASK 21 for sale Hi Bernard As it has not been used for aerobatics I understand the life extension also applies - it is the same age as the gliders used to support the increase to 18,000.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] ASK 21 for sale Hi Ashley You are right - the ASK 21 is the only glider in the world certified for 18000 hours. However, this ASK 21 was built quite some time ago and I'm not quite sure whether the 18 000 hour service life limitation applies to this particular aircraft as well. Better save than sorry!!!

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] ASK 21 for sale I thought ASK-21's had much more of a life span than 12000 hours. hmm maybe i had the wrong info on them.

One of my customers has asked me to put him in touch with potential customers for his ASK 21 as he is just about to leave on a lengthy overseas trip. We will write to clubs who have recently shown an interest in this trainer but have decided to make the following upfront announcement on Aus-soaring: ASK 21 for sale: The aircraft has flown about 9,100 hours and has been given a life extension inspection to 12,000 hours. It has not flown for a year and is currently in need of a Form 2 inspection. The aircraft has always been hangared and is equipped with good instruments including Cambridge GPS in both cockpits. It has been refinished in Dulux 2 pack PU paint and comes with a factory spin kit. The asking price is $ 65000 for a cash sale. Alternatively 3 year payment terms can be agreed upon with 25% deposit and interest on the balance @ 1% over the official inter-bank rate. In this case the asking price is $69,000. The current owner would need to be certain it was insured and his interest is noted on the insurance policy. The trailer is currently in use with another glider and will only become available during the second half of the year. It is available for $6,000. Photos are available on request.
