Don't even think of selling the K13. For a site such as Syerston a K13 is
probably the best buy regardless of price.

The basic training fleet at Lasham is entirely K13s, they have no intention
of changing. The same is true at Nympsfield, when they broke a K13 two or
three years ago they bought another one.

I am sure that Tim Mara is correct.

If you have some money, look for a good K8 or K6cr. Don't be seduced by a
white finish and a T tail. If you want to know why e-mail me.

I am a member of the council for my University gliding club - fairly new
compared to most of the people in this forum, but hey I enjoy it.

We currently own a K13 aircraft with a (fairly) serviceable trailer.

we have been offered an Acro with no trailer, and in order to buy it we
will need to sell our K13.

I was wondering whether it would be worth it - because the deal we have
been offered for the acro is not massively great and there are several
drawbacks.

mainly -

asking for a grant from the university.
selling the k13
not having a trailer with it.

Just wondering what some of the more experienced people think.

Thanks.
