The trainer is a Eipper Formance from the mid 80's. Eric Nied (seller) said it's in good condition, low hours and the sail was still crisp last time he had it out.... a couple years ago. Orange Red and white flat wing. Would like to sell it because it just sits there. Doesn't want much.... just wants someone that will use it. email for a pic.
The "class 3" glider is a Manta (mantra?) built in the late 70's. He said it's a rigid wing with twist grip ailerons for turning... supine unit. Bent tube. Didn't get into price.
Location - Front Royal, Va.

The Eipper is probably not from the mid 80's as I believe they were out of business before then.
The Manta glider is probably a Fledge (an early model semi-rigid wing).
Given their age and the fact that neither manufacturer is still in business, I would suggest that neither one of these gliders has any real street value and I definitely wouldn't recommend them for flights above whatever altitude you're willing to fall.
