MOST UGLY GLIDER ?

Hi,
thanks for following the original (tongue in cheek) aim of this
thread.
Indeed the Woodstock looks a bit out of date, but when was it built?
If its 70's or 80's it can't be that bad ???

Cheers,
Malcolm...

Ok then, I guess I never really added my pick.

I've never been a fan of the way the Blanik looks.
No dig against where they are made or who makes them.

I think they look like a trainer for bomber pilots. Especially the
L-13 with the wing tanks and that enormous tail which I think came
from a B-25.

Yea, I've flown a few different ones and they fly just fine, I have no
trouble staying up in them. I just don't like the way they look.

So there all you Blanik fans! Flame shields up...

Is there a soaring equivalent of coyote love?

Jawohl!

I should first qualify my statement by saying that I used to own a Citroen
2CV and a 2CV wagon and I drove a DS-19 in graduate school.

I like the looks of the PW-5
I like the looks of the Blanik
I even like the 2-33.

There, I have come out of the closet and made it public.

You are not a well man.
Confession: I drove a Fiat 500 as a kid but I did give it up
(not voluntarilly, my last Fiat 500 was confiscated when I
was discovered to be under-age, but its a long story)...

If Citroen made a corrugated glider, I would probably own one.

The 1978 edition of 'Jane's World Sailplanes and Motor
Gliders' by Andrew Coates, does not have any 'ugly'
gliders. Some look a lot better than others, but no
truly 'ugly' gliders. Ok, the 2-33 comes close, but
I won't call it 'ugly.'

Maybe a truly 'ugly' glider is one not cared for and
not flown.

Now, 'ugly' trailers are easier to pick out!
