Does the paint last?

In a word, "no". Ours looks awful. I'll see it I can get a pic this weekend.

Ray is right, though. It handles wonderfully - light and well balanced
controls. Almost no effort to take off and tow. On the down side, do not
get slow in this glider close to the ground. That's good advice for any
glider but more so for the L33.
