When you do look at a glider, the trailer is as important

(correct me if I am wrong) whereas 19s or Cirrus generally
have better trailers, being a bit more modern.

I believe the Standard Jantar was in production until the early 90s, so
there are some newer ones around. Plus, a number were overhauled by SZD
during the mid to late 90s, then exported in new Avionics trailers,
which are quite decent clones of Cobras...


I had one of these for seven years now. In addition to overhaul the
canopies of these are changed to the later model single piece canopy.
They seem to have been overhauled very well, but not at the SZD
factory in spite of the US importing dealer's advertising as such.

Avionic trailer that came with it has aluminum bottom and fiberglass
top shell. Tows like a dream, but plastic quality is not the greatest.
I am still quite happy with it.
