I'm trying to build the case for my club to add a new (or mildly used)
K-21 to our fleet. Anyone have info on current prices? This would be for delivery in the US (Right Coast)? Feel free to email me directly if desired. kirk dot stant at gmail dot com Cheers! Kirk 66 |

I think you'll be looking at around $125,000. Mike |

Of course, the ASK-21 is a little better glider. |

What was the hourly rental price for 2-33 and L-13 in the Seventies? Tow prices and instruction? How did that compare to the rental/ instruction in a Cessna 150? I bought a new 1974 Toyota Celica GT, 5- speed with air conditioning for $4,400.00 in September, 1974. |

Mike For that price you could come close to buying a Phoenix Motorglider. This could be an interesting option for a club: 1. 2 Place touring motor glider 2. Downwind dashes without the logistical hassles of chase crews, etc. 3. Can be used as a tow plane for single seat gliders 4. Fits in a standard T-Hanger with 10 second wing tip removal -- Mike Schumann |

Hi Mike
You have got that right! Also the Phoenix comes as a short wing glider with the outer wing panels removed and as such operates much as a standard LSA (on a glider ticket). Oh I almost forgot to mention it comes with a ballistic parachute and a 2 axis autopilot for long distance motoring. So a Phoenix has the same L/D as my old SparrowHawk, a similar performance as my old LSA the Jabiru J250 and finally everything and more compared to my Stemme S10-VT except the near 50/1 glide ratio. The Jab and the SparrowHawk are sold and the Stemme is up for sale. My Phoenix should arrive next spring. Dave For that price you could come close to buying a Phoenix Motorglider.

Had a chance to check one out last Sept at Tehachapi. Unfortunately it veered off the runway while taxiing and sheared the main left wheel clean off at the ankle before I saw it fly. Interestingly, the wing never touched the ground despite being low mounted and resting at such an incline due to the polyhedral. Nice looking plane though... -Paul |

![]() Phone call to John got answer as 74300 Euro UH Now let's talk benefits. our club (chicago glider) bought a brand new ASK21 last year. The thing is gorgeous. It flies much more nicely than the other ASK21 in our club (much older). Controls are crisp, handling great, and it's a pleasure to give rides in a nice new glider.Get and use the spin weights too.
