I've flown an L-13 as well, and even by comparison with a 1-26, never mind a Ka-8, the handling can best be described as truck-like. Also, I'm not sure the second seat is a feature. It's good for new pilots to get into a single-seater (once they solo the two-seater, of course). Builds self-reliance and keeps instructors honest about teaching one to fly gliders, not L-13's or 2-33's. Well, our L-13 is the best spin trainer we've got. Absolutely fantastic spinning with the nose pointing WAY down and the ASI showing the student that we ain't spiralling. I'm not sure a new student really understands the "can stall at any attitude" as well as in a many turn spin in a L-13. Well, at least not dual in a ship costing about $10,000... Besides that, I agree with everything else you've posted. P.S. "ain't" = are not. Can also be translated "is not." American vernacular for us'ns who d'wanna be concerned with plural or singular... -- ------------+ Mark Boyd Avenal, California, USA |
