Will the Blanik L-23's join the L-13's reaching their end as well?

From my experience, insurance companies are reluctant to pay for repairs to an L-23 so they will total the glider for even minor damage. Premiums reflect this.

Shouldn't that be a function of the insured value and cost of repair??

Of course, but I think you'll find insurance companies are very reluctant to insure an L-23 for large amounts. Repair shops are reluctant to take on an L-23 since OEM sheet metal alloys and factory approved repair methods have to be used. Insurance companies like to keep things simple so they just total the glider.
