The
ASK-13 two-place tandem trainer was a development of the earlier Ka-7. The performance
improvement was marginal, but the mid-wing design and improved canopy made for much better
pilot visibility. The landing wheel is fixed and sprung with rubber cones, and the ship is
fitted with airbrakes. In later models, a nosewheel was substituted for the skid. After
Schleicher ceased production, the sailplane has been license-built by Jubi GmbH of
Oerlinghausen, Germany. ATC
