Default Quick Question

I have a Senior Telemaster under construction and ordered a GP Spirit Select RTF. I am wondering will this sailplane offer enough experience in landing?

I know that taking off and flying is relatively easy but landing (basically a controlled crash) is hard, will this do? It's cheap and is ready to fly.

I do have the RF SIM G2 and am getting pretty good at landing (even on the runway!) But I still need some training but thought that in order to move ahead before construction of a powered ship is completed the sailplane might help. I have also been fascinated by non powered flight. I once saw a small maybe 30" wingspan sailplane hand launched and fly for approx 25 minutes and thought WOW really cool, no gas required.
