Personally I think all sailplanes (gliders) are graceful even the old 1965
homebuilt design which I fly.

It's hard to find an ugly sailplane but they do exist.

I'll have to agree... that thing doesn't win a beauty contest.

However, most sailplanes are beautiful even when they are tied down for the
night.

Back to the subject "Graceful Airplanes", technically in the USA a glider
isn't an airplane.

At least until that little door opens up and a
little motor pops out............

It still isn't an airplane. It is a "self-launched" glider. The
airworthiness certificate states "glider" and you need a "glider" rating
with a "self-launch" endorsement in you log book to legally fly it.

Jim,

The Dianna has elevators; however, they are not very large.
