I'd let the memories fade....I've flown the SF34 it was Schiebes attempt at
getting into the K21 Grob Twin market... IMHO it's just not a terrific
glider..in many ways it's like comparing the K13 to the Bergfalkes....some
of our German friends might help us out here but I've heard them explain it
like this, The K13's (and most K gliders) Fly like you feel.....the Schiebe
Gliders...."do things in the air".......
Construction is fair to not so fair....design is just missing something,
crude by current standards, it's essentially a 15 meter glass two
seater..Performance is probably a tad better than the K13's but don't expect
much over 30-1 regardless of the brochures...

I'm looking for information on the Schiebe/Alliance SF-34. Would any of
our German or French brothers care to comment on the suitability of the
SF-34 as a club training glider? Handling qualities, comfort,
durability, soaring performance?

To my knowledge, there are only two examples of this glider in the U.S.
I flew one of them many years ago and my memory of the experience is
fading.

Thanks,

Wallace
