Hi,
Gliders IT will not sell direct to you in the USA. They support their dealer - Soaring USA. (I've tried. They will respond to your queries and you can place the order with their online system, but they refer you to Soaring USA)
I see a bare model is 1750 Euro, with exchange rate, shipping being around $500 and the fact that Soaring must make a profit to be in business, their price of $2200 seems fair.
I don't know how hard it would be to self modify the K45 mounting to use a X45, but a clever modeler could work it out and call it 'fun'. I know they will order you the one you want with all the trimings. I've bought a couple Glider It models fomr Soaring USA as custom orders and all went well.
On the other hand, I've seen this glider pop up for sell at RCG classifieds a couple times.
There was a dolly for sell on RCG this week. I bought one from Aloft Hobbies for $60. I think it be funner to make a frame for an RC truck, so you don't have to chase the dolly back.

Good hunting!
