1) Safe and easy to fly
2) Simple fixed gear undercarriage
3) Easy ground handling (our club is now buying retractable
gear DG1000s, but they are a complete pain on the ground)
4) Fully aerobatic, including good spinning characteristics
5) Must be capable of flying all the exercises in the
training syllabus
6) Enough performance to make reasonable cross-country
flights, but not so much as to make it difficult to
get students down.
7) Small enough for easy hangarage - wingspan not more
than 17 or 18 metres.

Is there such a perfect training glider produced anywhere
in the World, or about to be? I am sure that there
is a market to be cornered if there is.


ASK-21.
Simply install the (now) approved spin-kit which makes spins possible
in the ASK-21 by installing lead weights in the tail.
