Blanik L23 Wanted

[Charles Dutch]

If anyone knows of a Blanik L23 for sale, please let me know. Our club is in immediate need, and this plane suits our needs very well. We have a trailer.

I saw a listing a month ago representing the sale of an L-23 from the Edmonton Soaring Club.

I hope that helps.

Would a Krosno suit? The Winnipeg Gliding Club has one listed on Wings and Wheels. They are a motivated seller and the offer includes the trailer and a spare parts insurance salvaged Krosno.

Thanks for the lead. Found it, but the useful load on the plane is significantly below original and hence our needs.

Nearing the end of it's useful life with no indication of a service life extension program, making it a relatively short-term solution. We're hoping to find a decent L23 that still has life and factory support.
