Beginner questions about buying a sailplane...

....I am primarily interested in a Let Blanik L-23 or L-12 simply because I am flying an L-23 in my lessons and enjoy it quite a bit. If you have *any* desire to fly xc, do *not* buy the Blanik - unless you're guaranteed to land out at an airport and get an aero retrieve home :-). As the joy of flying is important, so is the joy (or lack thereof), of rigging and derigging. Also. it's much easier to get one helper to pull you out of that hay field than the 2 or 3 helpers that you'd need for the Blanik. Tony LS6-b "6N"
