  • Where are gliders for sale listed?

    From Guy Acheson@21:1/5 to All on Sat Dec 24 18:59:42 2022
    What are the current sites for advertising a glider for sale?
    Wings and wheels has very few listings compared to even one year ago.

    If you are in America:

    Wings and wheels
    Barnstormers
    Back of SSA magazine
    Glider Source

    Wings and Wheels is your best bet unless you want to buy new IMO (having bought and sold 4 gliders from Wings and wheels in 10 years). If you are in the market enjoy your daily Wings and Wheels check. It may take many months to find what you are looking
    for. The market usually comes alive early spring...

    If you have a specific model you are looking for go to FAA registry and send letters to the owners, you may find someone interested in selling. I did that to find my second glider...

    Agreed! I found my AS-W20 via contact with someone that did not have it listed for sale. Honestly sending letters out is the best way to do it.
