Take a week (or more) of
vacations and travel to Arizona, California or Nevada (predicatable
good weather). Then look at flaps. Spitzers were good army training
gliders 50+ years ago and overwhelming majority of civilized world
since then successfully transitioned to sailplanes.

Don't you dare talk that way about the 524 Gullywomper, there is NO
better training glider in the world! You DO have the money. Right?
