The Capstan was a disaster, the Bocian was lovely but very expensive, the Blanik was noisy - I could go on and on about training gliders, I have flown most of them - K13 is the BEST.
Olympia 463,

I’ve flown three of the four gliders you mentioned, but ỉonically, never the K13. I have lots of instructional time in Blaniks, but only a few flights in a Capstan and a Bocian, early in my gliding career, before I had even gone solo.

I’m intrigued by your comment about the Capstan. What was so bad about it?
