To be honest the ASK-13's fly more than the SF

the cost per minute is lower, and instructors love the ASK-13

we have also 2 ASK-13 for initial training on "wood"

The SF-34 is heavier on the stick, a real two-seater

I have flown the French version Alliance-34 a few times
The controls of the Alliance are easier, more like a single-seater
In France this glider is used for first solos

The soaring performances of both are rather modest, but OK for the price

Great information. Thanks Jan. My club is in the same situation. We need
another two seater, we prefer plastic, but can't afford an ASK-21 or
even a Grob. A Schiebe SF-34 has been offered to us for a reasonable
price.
