I don't think the price of the glider has ever been part of the calculation
for landout spots. Many landouts that damage the glider are going to damage you. Another point, about "you can land a 1-26 anywhere" is that since the thing may only be $6,000, one is more able to fly over questionable landouts. A lot of landouts seem to be benign for the pilot, but damage the glider. If I was looking at a $30,000 ASW-20 vs. a $15,000 PW-5, I might accept lower performance just so I'm not "hangin' out the $15,000." Even if I got it by buying a raffle ticket! (PEZ).
