This is of interest to me too. Here in the USA there don't seem to be

it is older than me, but it fly :-)
then about the only option is the ever-aging fleet of Schweizer 2-33

Thanks, John. Will check this too.
If there are any K-13s in the USA, they'd be worth a look - there are
still quite a lot being used by UK clubs including Lasham. They are
better than the K-7 for one main reason: the instructor's view is quite
restricted in a K-7. Look at that linked photo and/or listen to those
who've instructed in them. This is not an issue in the K-13.
