Buying glider from an estate - maintenance logs not available
Like what someone said earlier, it depends on the situation, the type glider, and the price. Having gone this route numerous times restoring vintage power planes, the lack-of-logs can or can not be a big deal. If its a schweizer, metal/tube/fabric, no logs is not a big deal. If its a glass bird, depends on the model, the seriousness of its ADs and the price. If they’re giving it away, then a close look see may be warented. I picked up a very nice HP14 with partial logs for a very reasonable price, well worth the effort involved in doing the research.
