I have a special question...

Why this AD applies only on Blanik L-13 and L-13A and NOT on L-23's???

Both glider type are very very similar....


L-13 has a conventional tail, and flaps. L-23 has T tail, no flaps.
Canopies are different. Similarities: Both made of aluminum and the
manufacturer.


Does anyone still operate a Blanik in UK ??
I haven't seen one for years.
Maybe you should put struts on them, making them like all the other US
trainers ?
