A high-performance, glass ship would be wonderful to display at airshows. I can imagine how careful the 10-year old kid would be when he climbs in and out of it. I'm sure their parents would be equally responsible by making them take off their muddy shoes, all while insuring that they don't yank on any knobs or tear anything up so the sailplane could be placed immediately back in service after the event...

The L13 is a perfect ship for such a display. Cleaned up, it certainly looks more modern and is easier to climb in and out of than a 2-33.

Put up or shut up, I sent my (earmarked) donation to the Eagle Fund for the cause and have already received the thank you letter.

I'm always impressed and persuaded by the arguments of those who hide behind the anonymity of a fictitious name.
