K13 Opinions
Thanks for all the replies. I overlooked the obvious need for hanger
space. This pretty much rules out a 13 for our club. Dang. MIke |

K13 Opinions

The ASK-13 is much appreciated as a trainer. There is one serious catch however: a very limited maximum cockpit load. We have two 13's, one with 168 kg max. weight for two pilots. This means problems with your load and balance... The Yanks should eat less burgers and fries and do a bit more walking. Then there wouldn't be a problem! The UK K13s have a BGA approved MAUW increase that makes them non aerobatic , but normally allows two 200lb middle aged males to fly them. We are just hoping that EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency, otherwise known as Europe Against Soaring Anything) wouldn't re-impose the original limits. Derek Copeland |
