I think what Hanns was after was an opinion on what your club may have
done in a similar situation. Hindsight is a very specific science so I
can see why he has asked the question. e.g are K21's and G103's good
replacements buck for buck against the K13?

I don't see how RAS'ers opinions on what should be on your checklist will be
of any help at all. Survey your members to see what THEY think is important
in a ship.
Once that's done (and you've somehow resolved all of the conflicting
requirements) get several respected members to help you build a matrix that
scores available ships against the criteria members said were important.

Hi,

Our club has decided to replace its training fleet of K13's by new
ships.
In order to structure the selection process and to avoid that
everybody starts yelling and defending their favourite brand I need a
kind of list of criteria by which to match available ships in the
market.
Therefore I need a longlist that covers all (or most important)
aspects to consider before making a final choice.
Obvious main areas a safety (like (how) does it spin?), price, ease
of ground handling, flexibility in club operations, expected
maintenance cost, supplier reliability, etc.
Maybe other clubs have gone through a similar process and are willing
to share the list of hard demands and soft wishes they used.
My intention is not to start a thread on the why's of our decision.
Just a list of aspects.

After scimming and searching a few thousand headings, I could not find
any related postings in RAC.

You can email your list, or a place where I can find one, to my
address (discarding the "nospam" part off course.)



Thanks in advance
