We have a SF-34 in our club as a trainer on "plastic", because we cannot
afford a more expensive two-seater as the ASK-21
we have also 2 ASK-13 for initial training on "wood"

The SF-34 is heavier on the stick, a real two-seater

I have flown the French version Alliance-34 a few times
The controls of the Alliance are easier, more like a single-seater
In France this glider is used for first solos

The soaring performances of both are rather modest, but OK for the price

I'm looking for information on the Schiebe/Alliance SF-34. Would any of
our German or French brothers care to comment on the suitability of the
SF-34 as a club training glider? Handling qualities, comfort,
durability, soaring performance?

To my knowledge, there are only two examples of this glider in the U.S.
I flew one of them many years ago and my memory of the experience is
fading.

Thanks,

Wallace
