There are only 3 registered in the USA and none in Texas, so 2 still flying There are 3 Schleicher K 7, 23 Schleicher Ka 7 and one Alexander Schleicher GMBH K 7. I believe the Ka7 has a similar wing construction to the Ka2 and ASK-13; probably same wood and glue used in Ka6, Ka10, ASK14, and ASK18. There is some debate about what glue was used where in which gliders. It seems the factory was not consistent. Of course this isn't necessarily a glue failure accident either. Time will tell.
