I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder but the Slngsby T-53B

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.

50:1 that you'll never have? Have you looked at a Lak-12? Great
performance for CHEAP! You might lose a few friends at the gliderport
when it's time to rig but a few trailer mods will fix that.
