I've often found myself wishing for a Sailplane Buyer's Guide (hey, I
can dream can't I?). *It would compare manufactures, models, flapped

The closest resources I've found a
- Sailplane Directoery (http://www.sailplanedirectory.com/ndxtype.htm#D
)
- manufacture's websites
- the occaisional Soaring magazine article

but nothing really comprehensive.

Anything I'm missing?
