1) Listen to Robert's advice!

2) Even if the glider's only $15k, go see it in-person if at all
possible! Even a $500 plane ticket is peanuts compared to a $15k
albatross you decide you don't want or can't fly. Photos simply do
not show enough detail to get a complete sense of the gelcoat/paint
condition.

3) Check your State's Department of Revenue, to find out whether you
will owe sales tax or use tax upon bringing the glider into the state.

4) Trailering a glider cross-country is usually fine if the trailer
has a valid license-plate. Get it home, then contact your local DOL/
DOT to get the aircraft and trailer properly registered in your state.

Good luck, and don't settle! Its far better to search for just the
right ship, than to wind up with something you're not truly satisfied
with.
