The PIK-13 was a sailplane constructed in Finland to compete in the 1954 World Gliding Championships,[1] held at Camphill Farm, Great Hucklow, England.[2] It was a conventional mid-wing design of "workmanlike" construction[3] and underwent five test flights in the course of 1954 before its entry in the competition.[4]
In the championships, the PIK-13 was flown by Antti Koskisen,[2][5][6] who placed 16th with 931 points.[7] The PIK-13 was destroyed in an accident on 26 March 1956 when the control stick broke in flight.[4] Pilot Jorma Jalkanen parachuted to safety.[4]
