How to buy a glider affordably - redux

"Tony" wrote in message

my recommendation on how to buy a glider affordably is this:
buy an old homebuilt ship with poor to decent performance.
spend the rest of your money on gas for retrieves and extra tows for
relights
enjoy staying up and going cross country when the lift is weak.


Tony,

Not all old homebuilts require "gas for retrieves and extra tows for
relights."

It's been a long and hard-fought battle, but the prize for wandering
off topic furthest and fastest in r.a.s. history can now be awarded!
Well done!

(And, since my office is next to the guy who invented the term
"efficient markets", I can't help but thank Andy for following up on
this one.)

Hi John - How are you ? How come you weren't at the Hinckley
end-of season cook-out this evening ? I bet we can move this
thread to women and soaring if we keep at it...
See ya, Dave

PS: and of course you know about our Fair Value product...

Now just a moment here! The subject is "How to buy a glider affordably -
redux", and that's what we've been talking about. Maybe it should of
been "How to make enough money to buy a glider that isn't affordable",
but it wasn't. Frankly, it's the Original Poster who was off topic! Or
is that what you meant? Going off topic in one posting? You know, that
is exceptional...

yea no kidding, the original post had nothing to do with gliders. he
was trying to work some stock or money market system or something.
most of those schreders are going for 3-4 times what i payed for my
cherokee with an enclosed trailer. just remember, if youve got enough
glider to make it back to the airport, you probably could have gone at
least a third longer distance if you wouldve just kept going downwind!

i bought my glider to avoid having to share gliders with people (a'la
club) call me selfish but i like having my own ship to go cross
country when and where i want. Ill keep a partner in bed and that is
all.
