Good choice, until someone can show that it produces 
damage to the underlying structure...a little crazing 
will not significantly effect the performance of the 
glider.

Hi guys, 
 
Thank you so much for your insights and advise. There 
is a local pilot that has an LS4, a little bit of crazing 
of the fiberglass.  He hasn't flown in about 10 years. 
I am also looking at a brand new 15 meter SZD51-1 Junior. 
 I know they are not quite in the same class but I 
am a little nervous about the high performance of the 
LS4. I plan to spend the next two weeks in a Lark to 
transition to a glass ship(remember I don't have my 
licence yet but am very keen and careful). My approaches 
are good and PDM has been refined over the last 15 
year.  I do not want to get discouraged by a ship over 
my level of ability.  I still plan to spend lots of 
time dual to refine my skills. Any advise is greatly 
appreciated. 
 
Jeff
