Tony, that is awful!

The original poster did ask about paint and I forgot
to mention in my earlier post that our L-33 had been
repainted by the previous owner. I don't know if he
used Imron or what, but the paint is still looking
pretty good. We've had the glider for about 2 years
and it stays tied down outside. I don't know how old
the paint is, but I'll ask the previous owner for details
and let you know.

In a word, 'no'. Ours looks awful. I'll see it I can
get a pic this
weekend.

Here are the L-33 pics. This glider has spent a lot
of time outdoors -
but, so have the Cessnas and Pipers a few yards away
and THEY don't look
like this. We have a painted L-23 that doesn't look
so hot either.
Cessna, Piper, and others have figured out how to paint
aluminum. LET,
apparently, has not.
