There is another Lark retcnely available, closer (in Ontario) and cheaper ($20K)   but I don't know how many years it has left in the life limit.Something we need to think about besides the glider itself is how we'll keep it.  An ASK-21 or Grob 103 would be fun to fly, but if left out in the sun all summer will lose most of their value in a few years.  A lark is metal, like the Blanik, but higher performance.  Or will we rent enough hangar $pace for an assembled 2-seat glider?If an approved fix becomes available for the Blanik L-13, seems like it's worth doing, even if it costs 5 figures.
