Default ILEC SN10 free to a young soarer

I have an ILEC SN10 which I'm not using. These are fantastic units, but time has moved on and new ones are fantasticer! My clearnav blows me away every time I fly with it.

So, I'm offering my ILEC SN10 free of charge to one of the following:

- An individual under 30 with an older glider (cirrus, pegasus, perhaps even ventus 1 or discus 1) trying to get into competitive flying or longer distance flying. I want to stick with cheaper gliders as if you have the moolah for an ASG29 you don't need my help!

- A club with a cross country machine but no good onboard GPS, and some sort of program to encourage younger pilots. The aircraft must already be equipped with dual batteries as I don't want it to sit around for a decade while the club gets around to putting electricals in the glider.

- Whoever takes it must give me a commitment to putting the computer in THIS YEAR.

Either way, if there's someone out there that could benefit from a free computer, please let me know. I can't think of anyone at my club that will benefit but first dibs goes to anyone at Harris Hill including HH club gliders, second to anyone associated with UH as I know he'll make sure they use the computer, and thereafter first come first served. Please give me a week to make sure that all potential HH and UH needs have been met.

And also our club has a Club Libelle meant for encouraging cross country flying.
Last year I ran a cross country prep groundschool and this year we'll be doing
some dual cross country in the club's Grob. The Libelle currently has a
non-functional LX4000 in it, so it's even lacking an electric vario. However,
it has two batteries in it! And, also, we have the Soaring Foundation to
encourage young pilots:
