What First Glider to own?

Plenty of advice, not many real suggestions.
A Libelle was mentioned, beautiful glider, Glasflugel workmanship and
design, easiest ever to rig, slightly tight cockpit if you are well fed,
brakes not the best, need getting used to.

All the above is true. Unfortunately the non-hinged canopy on the older
Libelles makes it difficult, perhaps impossible, for you button yourself up into
your own glider without help. Depending on where you launch from, this may or
may not be a problem for you.
