We are evaluating gliders that our club might purchase. The L-33 looks
promising. What are the pros and cons of this glider? I know it performs
about as well as other club class gliders such as the Junior, PW5, and 1-34.
I have heard that the L-33 is prone to tail wheel damage. Any advice?

Thanks,

I have researched a bit about the 1-34 now, and it seems that
parts are easily available, they are cheap to purchase, and
they are sturdy. A local club that has one kept it, even though
they had 3 pegasi, because the 1-34 just had such darned low
annual and maintenance expenses...

Of course this may assume you are in the US. I can't speak to
ease of getting parts for those in other countries...
