Default Another First Glider Question

Let me first apoplogize for posting a first glider question. What the
heck, there's not much soaring weather out there to distract us this
time of year.

A Ventus A is up for sale at a very attractive price in the local
club. I currently have about an hour on my brand new ticket. I think
the plastic is still warm.

Assuming I have the discipline to fly 20 - 30 hours in G102/G103 (the
103 was my trainer) what are the odds of surviving with a Ventus A and
not much experience ?

I am a conservative person by nature and doubt I'll do anything
actively stupid. Passive stupidity is an entirely different matter.

At the very least, I think the first few landings may be intimidating.
I will have the luxury of about 4000' feet of grass or 5000' of
pavement when landing.
