Also consider the actual number of flights. I think that's where most of the
wear and tear comes from. For instance, one of the ships my club imported from
Europe had almost 6,000 winch launches on it, 3,000 hours, and is pretty ratty.
But the myopic objective of going all glass was met.

Look at all the 10-25 year old gliders with 500-2500 hours on them.
At that rate you can afford both the glider and the greens fees.
