Default First Glider - No Gelcoat

Interesting comment made at the SSA Convention Focus on Clubs track.

Generally stated 'We train in G-103's. Yes, it may take longer to solo
than a 2-33, but you will be solo sooner in the G-103 by training in
it, rather than training to soloe in the 2-33 and then transitioning to
the G-103.'

It follows then that you will also likely be solo sooner in the G-102
or LS-4 or ASW-19 or Jantar Std or whatever follows the G-103. The
objective is to dream, and seek opportunities to make that dream the
reality. You might be surprised at what's achieveable when you get rid
of some of the hurdles.
