For a private owner who has the skill to fly it properly, I believe it
would be a delightful glider to own.

Anyone wish to weigh in on the L-33 solo? I am in the market for a
single seater. *Metal is preferred because you can tie it down outside

not a lot of metal ships on the market these days it seems.


Can anyone speak to the handling of this aircraft from personal
experience? *

One item of note: It's not a Blanik.

The L-33 is a Solo.
