Hi Greg, 20k will buy you a multitude of old glass gliders and some even older wood/metal/rag and tube machines. The most likely glass gliders around that money will be Astirs and Std Libelle's. I believe there is an Astir for sale in WA for under $20k. Both of these aircraft are capable of cross-countries in excess of 500k - don't let anyone tell you they are not capable of good flights. Both are easy to fly - probably more so the Libelle which you 'think' around the sky. The Astir is a robust machine with a large cockpit; the Libelle's are pretty cramped in this respect. Both machines have well sorted maintenance histories, but the Astir has probably had more issues in the past.
Good luck, Dave > I'm looking for a glider & trailer for up to $20,000. > Please let me know if you know of any for sale. > I have low hours and would also appreciate advice on > what would be suitable. > > Thanks, > > Greg. > > _______________________________________________ > Aus-soaring mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To check or change subscription details, visit: > http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring > _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
