Make sure you check with the insurance companies (through the SSA
program, or otherwise) before you buy anything. They have very specific
experience requirements that will determine whether they will provide
you with a policy at a reasonable price, and even whether they will
insure you at all. One big factor is going to be the number of hours
you have in over 35:1 gliders...

For the SSA plan the experience levels are set by flights in 35:1 or
greater not hours. That can make a huge difference. I've just been
through getting my inexperienced (flying that is) wife insured for my
ASW 19b.
