in this day and age where the slippery glass reigns supreme are there

if your son was on the way to a glider instructors rating, as mine is,
is there a wooden glider design that would be worth building ?
something with reasonable performance that would be a sheer pleasure
to fly.

something a dad could spring on the kid.

How could a Dad spring something on the kid he's been working on for
months and months?

Since you say your son is on his way to a glider instructor's rating I
imagin he's got his own ideas about what he'd like to fly. How about
springing a surprise of some financial help to purchase wings of his
own choice?
