Blanik L-13
A Slovenian friend told me yesterday that a lot of the European L-13s were sold to Russia cheap (+/- $US 4000), and that they're being flown there without modification. He said that a large part of the motivation to ground them was to boost sales of new gliders.
This is TOTAL HEARSAY of course, and Slovenians have a unique perspective on German influence and actions across a wide array of issues. I'm interested to see whether any wings fall off the unmodified L-13s that are still flying. He also said that the one that crashed had been abused and flown overweight.. I've no idea if any of this is true, but it is at least an interesting rumor.
