I was just forwarded a note from BLANIK AMERICA, INC (Vitek Siroky)
that Blanik has ceased producing gliders.

Lately I heard the rumour that Ford plans to cease producing the T model.

Sad news. The all metal L-23 has been a venerable 2-place glider for
club operations for many years.

Indeed for very many years. Come on, the Blanik is a 60 year old design
with a L/D of less than 30! By these standards, even the venerable ASK
21 is a high performance ship!
