To be honest the ASK-13's fly more than the SF

the cost per minute is lower, and instructors love the ASK-13

Our current trainer is a Blanik L-23 which serves fairly well. Previous
to the Blanik we used a Ka-7. We considered importing one or more
ASK-13's back when the dollar was strong. Great ship but, alas, many
Americans are now too heavy and/or too tall to fit in either the Ka-7 or
ASK-13. We have a number of members who barely fit in the Blanik.
Luckily, we have an instructor who is relatively light.

Maybe flight instructors should resemble jockeys!
