Check out Harley Michaelis' Genie, Genie Pro, or Genie LT/S... Lots of good stuff in his design with lots of innovations. If you're a builder...Then you'll love it! I love it, unfortunately I also know I'm NOT a builder...(sigh). -Sheldon- YNT uDesign Home of the new PowerCube A Soaring

I don't think this is unique to sailplanes. In all areas, most of what you get is ARF. Overseas labor is so cheap, you get complete models for the price of making a kit in the US. And the vast majority of pilots don't have any time to build anyway. You can find a few kits at polecataero.

Just so you all know, I just bought the CARA and Resolution designs from Ed Whyte. The CARA is a composite fuselage with built up wing. MH32 airfoil and carbon tube spar. The RESolution has been redesigned from it's original foam core wing to a composite fuselage with built up wing and again,
