    If the trailer is serviceable this looks like the deal of the week

    I had HL way back. Lovely glider, went like stink. Climbed well too. Best point in its favor is that it is pre-fire at the factory in Finland. This damaged the wing moulds and PIK 20s after the fire never quite matched. It had a factory trailer and once
    you got how to use it for assembly worked well. Large storage space at front. Towed well. Caveat: the wings are heavy. All glass and built strong.
    Great ship to go x- country. Learn to use to virtually 90 deg flaps and landouts are a breeze. Up to point when I sold her maybe 35+ years back barely a scratch. But the gear doors come off easily ...
    And it's at an even better asking price! About what I paid all those years back.
    Buyer welcome to pick my memories.

    I saw the HL on the tail and thought about you and maybe it was yours in the past.
    Great price on that ship!
    I hope it goes to someone who uses it and keeps it up
