Were there any other gliders that compare to the PW5 and the AC5? About the same price Junior - Stronger and better performance Astir/grob 102 - large cockpit, retract better performance. ASW15 good handling, retract, getting a bit old now. Libelle lovely good performance, good handling - if you are small enough to fit in the cockpit. Avoid wood. They are lovely to fly but you have to spend so much time and money keeping them in good condition they are not worth it. I would go for a 15m glider as they seem to offer the best performance/cost ratio. Flaps are an unnecesary complication and expense Several ex hang glider pilots I know make excellent glider pilots. In fact one has just qualified for the british team in the next world championships! Get something that you enjoy flying an constantly keep striving to extend your experiences and skills.
