New ASK-21prices

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.

Eastern Sailplane show it on their website as 64,100 Euro +
instruments, trailer and shipping.

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

For a little perspective, in 1970 a new 2-33 sold for $23,000. In
inflated 2010 Dollars that would be $127,000.00 using the Consumer
Price Index. Of course, the ASK-21 is a little better glider.

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.

Kirk,
Buy new PW-6. In most respects as good as K-21 .
For the money you'll save you can add a couple of used PW-5.
Great set for any Club.

I've flown both and while the PW-6 is a very nice glider, it's not in
the same league as the ASK-21.

The two ASK-21's I fly are 30 years old having led a hard life with
the USAFA and CAP but they still look almost new with barely any
cracks in the gelcoat. ASK-21's are RUGGED!

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

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.
