Default Beginner questions about buying a sailplane...

Buy a glider that is popular with glider pilots ASW19b , cirrus, etc
My advise would be a GROB ASTIR CS .. good handling .. indestructable Gel
coat, most have original 1977 gel. Roomy cockpit and good performance.


The concrete swan. Watch people develop bad backs & hernias when you
want help rigging it, unless you have one of those one-man rig devices
that take most of the weight!
