The ASK-21 (and other gliders of similar performance) can be flown XC
quite well. And perhaps learning to do that is better training than
jumping right into a glider that has higher performance than the first
single seater the student is likely to buy?
See what UH has done in XC mentoring in his ASK21.
I am writing this as somebody who flys XC in a "Russia" AC4 in the NE
US. Similar (or slightly lower) performance to the ASK-21.
