I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder but the Slngsby T-53B
listed for sale on W&W has to be one of the homliest gliders I've ever
seen. Still outperforms the slightly less ugly 2-33 (which I'll likely
be flying soon), though.

Yeah, but it's CHEAP (if you don't count the time to fix the rudder).


Agreed. Actually, very cheap. I'd rather be flying in an ugly glider
that I can afford than dreaming about a 50:1 that I'll never have.
After all, its the view from the inside looking out that counts. On
the up side - other, more critical, pilots will see and avoid.
