Hi x933
You got it in one!! Its the bit between the stick and the pedals. I would never have been able to fly the k21 (maybe with some sort of extension to the pedals).
Lots of agreements for the k13, will definately make sure the club has one of those.
Re 'begging the question'....I love the older gliders, when the time comes, and it will, a nice K6cr/e is where my money will be going!!
Had a nice email back from 'Susan Newby' she is the editor of S&G, told her of my predicament, she replied that she was having a meeting on Friday with some 'experts' in the Gliding fraternity, and she would pick their brains.
There has been so much help/advice over the last few days, its brilliant.
Thanks
Terry
