Hate? None so far, thank goodness! But dislike? Schweizer 2-33 is the obvious answer (for US and Canadian pilots, at least) due to it's atrocious ergonomics, lethargic control response, and general ugliness. But I don't so much dislike it (first glider solo in one, have a lot of time in it giving rides, and still occasionally fly our club's example, just to remind myself how much nicer the other gliders are) as think that its time has past and that it was a poor effort by Schweizer, when you think that the classic Blanik L-13 and Schleicher K-7/13s are contemporaries...

But picking on the 2-33 is too easy, so here are two mo

Schweizer 1-34. Looks like it should be a lot of fun, but it's really pretty pedestrian to fly, with almost the worst ailerons in any Std Class glider. I much prefer the older 1-23 - that's a fun little glider!

Peterson J-4 Javelin. Spoilers for roll control - or lack of it. Identical spoilers for glidepath control, or lack of it. Ugly as sin (but a big comfortable cockpit). A truly imaginative attempt at an inexpensive glider, but the cost cutting really shows. I flew one of the first ones built, and was unimpressed - and the following day another demo flight in it ended in a pattern stall-spin fatal crash - due I believe directly to the weak ailerons and spoilers, combined with a too high pattern, leading to an attempted low 360...

That being said, if any of these were all I had to fly and the day looked good, I wouldn't hesitate to jump in any of them and go fly!
