I can only speak to one of these DLGs you've suggested. I assembled an NSP Apache for a friend. It went together well
Given your flying full house sailplanes, I'd go with an aileron DLG.
Statements there will indicate this is not an ultimate contest ship, but is a good first higher level DLG.

Thanks John. You experience is appreicated.
I have been leaning toward an aileron ship, but am still very open either way.
Not really concerned about a contest grade ship. This is purely for fun!
Speaking of purely for fun, I came across some "differnt" types of planes. Would be interested in people's thoughts.
The Seeker - $79 kit - smaller than the ones above
This one breaks down for easy transport - I like that!

DLG Wings - Look like fun, but not sure how they would thermal. I have no real flat field experience with wings. I do fly a ZAGI off a slope site. Like it a lot, but have not tried to thermal it without slope lift.

Looks like fun, but not sure this is what I am looking for
