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 Indeed the Woodstock looks a bit out of date, but when was it built?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 ???

Hi, thanks for following the original (tongue in cheek) aim of this thread. 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... 8).........SIFOW Willie G. |

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. Colin |

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! Ray Lovinggood Carrboro, North Carolina, USA LS1-d 'W8' |
