Hi Greg,
20k will buy you a multitude of old glass gliders and some even older
wood/metal/rag and tube machines. The most likely glass gliders around
that money will be Astirs and Std Libelle's. I believe there is an Astir
for sale in WA for under $20k. Both of these aircraft are capable of
cross-c
Hi Greg.
For $20,000 i would recommend something like a standard cirrus. Cirrus's
perform well and are still very competitive in competition flying. They
have a very good handicap. I wouldn't rule out an Astir CS/77
either.Just my thoughts

I'm looking for a glider & trailer for up to $20,000.
Please let me know if you know of any for sale.
I have low hou
As an owner of a Std Cirrus, I agree that the pitch stability is poor,
however, as long as you are aware of that, it is a delight to fly. It is
very responsive to control input, and can be flown with the right wrist
resting on the right knee, and just finger movements needed on the light
stick.
Would that be the second last glider on this page? ;)

A friend has a very nice Phoebus C (17m) that he has to sell. Looking to
get $15,000 in an enclosed trailer (currently not registered). Contact me
off group if interested.

Go for the astir or cirrus, most of the glasflugel machines are narrow in
the fuse, beautiful sailplanes though.
