I disagree with the statement regarding maintenance.
A fibreglass ship will always cost less to maintain
than a fabric over metal ship.

I don’t believe a K13 is move forgiving than a Twin
Astir or K21 for training purposes. And, in the unlikely
event of an accident I would rather be in a glass ship.

Having said that… If all you want to do is bash the
circuit – stick with the 13. No better than glass
once you are downwind.

Just wondering what some of the more experienced people
think.


Keep the ASK13.

I am biased as I went solo in one .. Glass ships are
going to get you into a lot
more trouble, whereas the K13 will always be a more
forgiving platform for
training. Plus you are already ahead in terms of trailer
and maintenance of a
familiar piece of equipment versus the servicing of
an FRP ship. Insurance costs
will be higher too I'm sure!

Keep the ASK13
