Commercial Add on, 140 flights and approx 100 hours, mostly in 1-34.
Would this be a reasonable next step?

Like the other I loved the little Cirri. The one thing not mentioned
is your crew will love it too. Until I got my Ventus 2 my crew always
told me all my other gliders were never as nice as the Std. Cirrus.
The wings are light and it is easy to rig if you do it right (wrong
and it will not go together).

I put about 500 hours and many flights over 500k on serial number 17.
Still one of my favorite gliders. Watch the speed control on final
and learn to slip and they can be put in to about any field. A few
knots makes a big difference on float, I found 48 on short final
worked very well to get it down where you wanted, 55 knots and it
would float forever.
