Default Best Looking Sailplane

I do agree that the ASW-20 is very nice looking. My vote however would
have to go to the far more uncommon DG808. I think it looks great from
the outside, somehow quite sporty. I also like the DG cockpit design,
it's very tidy, and you can get the panel in carbon fibre which is
pretty cool. The long canopy is impressive too, inside and out.

There aren't many good quality pics of it, here are some favs:http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/Data/Po...08b-dresse.jpg

Wings are too short....

Still the ASW22 has it in my book.
