R18
The ASK-21 (K-21) is a primarily designed as a basic instruction two seat fibre glass training glider. The aircraft has good stable flying characteristics that will introduce the ab initio pilot to their very first solo flight. It can also be used for aerobatics, this year Cranwell's K21 was one of the glider pair that made up the team providing the glider aerobatics display at the RAF Waddingtom Air Show. It is capable of flying cross country (having glide ratio around 33:1). Whenever Cranwell is flying this glider is usually to be found on the field or soaring above it.
