We are working on licensing that last one. There is the
possibility of importing more from Europe, but the market
here has been sort of stagnant in the last couple of years.
No buyers around until a 2-seater gets crashed. Then they
need a replacement and start looking around, only to find
out there's not much available to suit their needs and
pocketbooks. The Blanik L-13 wing spar A.D. created a
vacuum in the lower cost trainer spectrum. Operators have
largely filled that void now, so the market appears close to
equilibrium at present.

John, I'm sending you a PM about availability.

Thanks. So I'm assuming one would need to pursue current owners to see if they would consider selling, as I dont' see any currently for sale on W&W (a number of Twin IIs , but no Twin 1s).


If you are not afraid of dealing with the authorities on both sides of the pond and a shipping broker in between, take a look he https://www.segelflug.de/osclass/ind...&sCategory=140
Some trainers there to pick from.
