Default First Glider, but now a two seater...


I've spent the last year or so keeping an eye out for a first
glider... something like a 1-34, etc. No rush you know, just looking.

But then I started taking my 9yr old daughter flying with me, and she
absolutely LOVES it! She has been asking me every day when we are
going up in the glider again.. and my wife caught wind of this and
said "Well, you are going to be 40 this year. Why don't you spend our
tax return on a glider so you can get Katie into flying?"

So this has thrown me one heck of a curve ball. I would love to
encourage her to take up flying by having her fly with me often. I
could see where this could have a big effect on the rest of her
life...

So, if I were looking for a good safe glider, able to be disassembled
by 2 or 3 people without breaking out backs in the process, would it
exist for $10K USD? $13K? I don't have $20K to spend unfortunately.

I've seen L13's for as low as $6K USD, but they are all currently
grounded, and those wings look heavy! But then, I could leave it tied
down at the gliderport which would be nice.


Any advice appreciated, thanks in advance.

Tom
