Funny, European and British gliding clubs cherish their K13's. I don't
believe gliding there is suffering as a result of teaching in
"yesterday's gliders". I understand Lasham (?) have 7 or 8 K13's going
from dawn till dark.
Some years ago I flew the DG-1000 at Camden including spins. Spins
nicely but jeez, it's a rocket when it stops and thought then it was
gonna scare the c..p out of students who aren't right on the ball and
give the instructors even more grey hair than they've got. Anyone know
if a DG-1000 is used for ab initio training? At least a K21 takes 1500'
to get to Vne.
Merry Xmas,
