Best place to go is join in the fun flys and contests. Come down take a look, ask the guys and see first hand, they are a friendly bunch.
Funflys normally sat mornings at Tampines cd field, sometimes weekdays evenings too.
Contests are once a month.www.facebook.com/groups/BRslopers

There are quite a few local & overseas shops that sells DLGs. You can also order directly from manufaturer but be prepared to wait at least 2 months for manufaturing and delivery. Local shops do have stocks as Kok Yong has mentioned, Singapore Hobby has the most DLG stocks and variety at the moment (both lower and higher end). Talk to Ronald, he is not only informative but he's also very friendly. APAC Hobby carry some competitive type DLGs e.g. Snipe which is a proven winner around the world.
2nd Hand DLGs is a good option as well especially when it's your 1st DLG. During the course of learning, bumping here and there is inevetable. Best is to drop by the funfly/pratise sessions at CD field. Like what Pang said, they are a friendly bunch (sometimes too friendly). You never know if you may catch a good deal on a 2nd hand DLG while you're there. Good Luck!

Thanks all for the awesome help. Went down today to try to get 1 1.5M at sing hobby only to find out that they are out of stock. expected for at least another 2 more weeks.
My budget is around $500. but im not looking for second hand. didnt have a good experience the last round buying a glider only to have the wing snap just gliding around. i believe was becos the carbon spar had hairline cracks already.Honey Bee FP

when buying second hand gliders, try to ask the owner to demo first before you buy. I have been buying second hand dlgs for more than a year. never had any problems. they still perform very well. It is only till recently did i buy my first 1st hand dlg.
With a budget of $500, you can either buy a low end 1st hand dlg or a top end 2nd hand dlg. choice it yours however, first hand dlgs will require alot of building and many things can go wrong if you do not have experience with dlgs or composites. I would think 2nd hand dlg will be a better bet.

SHS ran out of stocks for DLG??? May i venture a guess that the new Topsky 4.0 is arriving then?
$500 is a good start to a new DLG if you're not afraid of building. Building pose quite some problems if you not familiar but definately good for the leraning curve.
