One of the most popular two-seater gliders used for training all over
the world is (or used to be, to be exact) a Czech made L-13 Blanik.
Unfortunately it was suspended by EASA because of cracks in the wings,
so in many clubs the basic training equipment remains grounded. The
future of the Blanik is uncertain, however aero clubs and soaring
schools are urgently looking for available two-seaters. Their first
choice is to search for a secondhand glider but the price is comparable
with the cost of possible renovation of the Blanik. Moreover, nobody
wants to get rid of a two-seater even if it’s not used.
