An LS4 is an excellent choice...as long as you are
having no problems flying a Duo or DG1000, or Grob
103 for that matter.

Plenty of pilots enjoy flying their sailplanes with
cracks in the gelcoat...if you are the type to dweeb
on the ground checking out instrument panels and wing
finishes, then it might be of concern. Otherwise join
the rest of us with 20 year old original finishes on
our birds.

But I cannot agree more with the post about trailers
and ease of rigging...because if you hate assembly
then you will fly less. And look real hard at a one-man
rigger, they really are worth every penny.
