I would also recommend a Libelle:


Nearly everyone holds Libelles as beautiful and I couldn't agree more.


I'll have to disagree, to some extent, with WB.


Beautiful, yes. But only in a rare time when seen from a higher
vantage point and having to twist neck to look back and down.


Really ugly when seen from below and well out in front of my typical
vantage point. :-)


And yes, the low canopy really improves the look of this classic
glider.


I'll second what others have said: Make sure you get a good trailer
with all the bits in working order. Not much sucks more than a
knuckle-busting trailer.
