First thoughts:

It might take you quite a time to become proficient at loops and inverted.
Also there are many others things to learn besides aerobatic. Pre-solo,
you probably have a year or two of learning, in all conditions and hopefully
different clubs to put into your knowledge base.

Second thoughts: When you were about to take your driving test did you
consider buying a high performance sports car, with all the twitchiness that
entails?

I would suggest you get something to learn on for a couple of years whilst
you gain experience. Like your first car, there's a really good chance your
going to scratch it a bit on the way :-(

If both of your have lots of free time, you could well get through the next
steps of learning in a year and can move onto a higher performance glider.
If not, you will take a bit longer. Having an expensive machine sitting
gathering dust is not that motivational. Breaking one due to lack of
experience or being current is even worse..

ok here goes nothing
we as a couple are close to solo and because of limitation n time due to
business commitments we will find it hard to share club gliders once solo
so
look to buy one , however we are well aware that with time comes
experience
so we would like some advice on a good starter glider from solo on
i do like doing loops and inverted so ideally this glider will be able to
take that
in its stride when im proficient enough to do these solo ,
we also seek info as to if there is a web site with a pic of every glider
made
as its very hard to know what a mentioned glider even looks like ,
so i look forward to what im sure will be a multitude of suggestions and
views

kind regards
