Default K13 Opinions

The K-13 is a joy to fly compared to Schweizer's tank (2-33), but it
needs to be put away at night or the wood and fabric will go all too
fast. Its robust enough with steel tube fuselage, great visibility!

Our club is considering purchasing a second 2-33 (hold the flames
please) as a primary trainer. Our main reasons for these are 1) we are
small and have limited budget and 2) the cost of maintaining a 2-33 is
minimal thanks to their tank-like construction. I've seen a couple of
K13s on the market lately and was wondering what y'all think of them,
particularly when is comes to robustness and cost of repair/parts
availability etc. I flew one for a flight review a few years ago and
really liked it. Thanks.
