Our club (NJ - USA) has folded and we still have an L-13 taking up space. Before I call the local scrap yard I thought I'd ask if anyone might be interested in buying it at scrap value with the dreams of getting airworthy again. We also have an open trailer for it that will be available separately if the bird goes to the junk yard. mikefaddenathotmail.com.

The lack of funds in the US soaring movement, compared to UK, always
surprises me.


Actually, there's no lack of funds but there is a widespread lack of
understanding of the effects of inflation. If 1960's prices for
gliders are inflated into today's funds, the prices are seen to be
about the same - but today, you get a much better glider for those
funds.

To someone who remembers spending less than $10,000 for a new trainer
in the 1960's, $115,000 seems like a lot of money when, in fact, the
two prices represent about the same value.
