Thanks, all, for the reasoned and reasonable response.
I guess I've got to go to the gliderport and mooch a ride or two, and listen
a lot.
I have flight experience in T-34, T-37, a half a century ago, courtesy the
USAF. And 10 hrs dual in a Cessna 150, a decade ago. Now, I'm sort-of
*retired*, and wondering if the urge to fly is as strong as it was in the
past.
There was a homebuilder in my area, a few years ago. He still had the record
for the largest single-engine all-wood personally designed and built - and
it was still in his hangar when he went west. Two others of his homebuilts
were there, then, too. His record was five, he was building #6. He was my
impetus to consider homebuilding. I even bought the plans and material to
build a Bounsall Super Prospector, but in moving to smaller quarters three
years ago, I donated it all to the local EAA chapter.
But the option of buy ratty and restore might work best, and I hadn't given
that any thought, before. It just might be time to go shopping, and the
gliderport might be the first, best stop.
Again, thank you all for the sound responses.
