*Anyway, it's the condition of the trailer that really counts!

Gotta call BS on the trailer thing.* If it's flying you want, who
cares about the trailer?* It might add 10-15 minutes to rig and
derig times but that's a miniscule part of the soaring day.



I've had Pfeiffer, Minden, Komet, Cobra, and LAK trailers and,
though I preferred the Cobra, it was the glider I was after, not the
trailer.



My advice is:* Get the glider you want and take whatever trailer it
comes in.* After all, you don't sit in the trailer all day, do you?*
BTW, I'm very pleased with the comfort of my LAK-17a and the LAK T5
trailer is designed specifically for that glider.

I would second that. Get the best glider you can afford - any upgrade from a ****ty trailer to a decent trailer is relatively cheap and can be done a year or two later.
