Terry said "Most training gliders fit in light sport.". The 2-33 certainly does, but the Blanik L-23 or the Ask 21 does not due to Vne - or am I missing something?


It is kind of a curious circumstance with the ASK-21. The POH specifies a max all-up weight of 1320 lbs - on the button for the max weight of a light sport aircraft, but the Vne is specified as 151 kts.. - more than a little faster than the 120 kts. Vne the FAA (14 CFR 1.1) limits a light sport aircraft to.
