TST 14M on W&W

I admit I am not at all familiar with this glider and I couldn't really find much about it on the interwebs. I'm also not in the market. Just wondering why a seemingly modern two-seat motor glider would be selling (or not) at such a low price.

I've looked at one here in France, it looked well built but also
looked quite lightly built. The engine installation was perhaps
not up to main-stream German standards. I flew in the same
vicinity and it certainly seemed to fly well enough. It's a rare
beast even here in the EU so I'd guess it's not an many
peoples radar. Might affect its saleability?

Agreed, we had a single seat MG on our field. If you thought a Libelle had thin cockpit walls, look at the TsT.
Not a slam, just an observation.

I seem to remember an Ed Kilbourne song about an LS-4 for $5 in a
divorce case. You never know. Those BRS chutes also need very
expensive re-packs every 10-15 years or so....

There was an attempt to get a club rolling at Vail, Colorado, using this glider. https://www.facebook.com/vailsoaringclub/ has some more ground and in-flight images. The website domain is unreachable.

anyone know someone who owns one? or has flow one recently.

Seems to only have been 10 or 20 ever made???

Looking at the Manuel - it look pretty good on paper. I am looking at - so any info would be helpful. no for racing but a nice family xc ship. (maybe)

Bob Carlton has a TsT-14 Bonus.
I've only had one flight with Bob.
It has a slightly different engine to the standard M, and climbs at nearly 1000'/min with two on board.
Don't thermal it too slow.

Hello Vania, is your glider for sale? If not, do you have any idea of a possible market price for a used TST14M (in Europe)?

George Saunders bought one on Wings and Wheels 3 yrs ago, for about the same price this is selling for and moved it to CO...it's probably the same one.
