FWIW - the flaps in the L-13 are more-or-less for show only. They really aren't preparation for something like an ASW-20 with "real" drag and lift producing flaps. I guess it gives you something to do with your left hand.

In answer to your question though, there aren't a lot of ships that fit that bill. Our club had several Larks (had being the operative word - we're almost to Black Ace status) which would have done the trick. I'd look around for someone with a Janus.

SoaringNV in Minden NV has a Duo Discus.

Duo is unflapped.

I was thinking of the Duo X. But you are correct. Even then the flap position is tied to the spoiler position.
