Why would I get bored in a two seater under 50K? *Even the old

Thanks

To go xc you must be willing to derig and trailer them home. Try
derigging any of the two places you can afford and soon you will be
staying within glide of your local airport. If you don't go xc you
will soon quit flying gliders much because twirly birds get bored
quickly. Get a nice trailer with a glass glider in it (sorry Tony)
for $15 to $20K. Get a couple of partners and make it cheaper and
join the local club and fly their two places.

don't be. odds are my next glider will be club class glass in the
15-20 range. probably with a partner or two. Unless of course the SSA
decides to expand the club class handicaps. Then I'll have to
reconsider. Perhaps I'll just get a 1-26 then.
