Default New pilot looking for glider to purchase.

Hello everyone, I'm a new pilot looking for a decent affordable glider that's suitable for a newbie that I won't outgrow within the first year or two. I'd appreciate all suggestions and info of gliders for sale.

I'm currently flying my clubs 1-26 until I get the time in to move up to the DG101.

I'd like something with a decent trailer also as I'd like to drive around the west to fly at lots of different places.

Thanks in advance for any information. Kirk.


- Get the prettiest looking glider for your money, dont get hung up too much on a kind. Right now there is Standard 3 with only 150 flight hours...or there is DG101 that used be be based on my old gliderport and it was meticulously maintained by its old owner. Worst thing you can do is get some junker that hasn't had anything done to it for 20+ years just because you were looking for a brand name.
