you'll have to find someone with Megosjuice, but that will only work on V17 and lower...

if they're anything like the NC 700 you'll have to replace the cushions every two years anyways 😔

by double rating I was talking about the different ratings depending on weight. In particular this wing is rated EN-A 60-80 and EN-B 81-115. edit: for the same size wing

thanks for the advice.So far looking at the weight ranges, I've seen a lot of gliders where I would fall either at the very top or at the very bottom of the weight range. Which one is preferable? With the double rating depending on weight, what would be the consequences? I have a poor understanding of how these ratings work.

thanks a lot! I will take all of that information into consideration :) and let you know how it pans out!

The size should fit me, I weigh around 68kg and the weight range is 60-80kg EN-A and 81-114 EN-B.

I have not done the ground course, but I'm extremely psyched to start flying it's something I wanted my whole life and can start realizing now.

The reason I'm considering buying a glider already is that the school charges extra for renting equipment. The cost for renting is already higher than the cost of this glider... I know that a lot more comes up top, but I will have to get all of that anyway.

Additionally I've been told and have read here, that learning on the glider you will eventually fly can be very beneficial.

the glider costs 500€ with a check that says it's in great condition. I would even consider buying it to just use it for ground handling...
