Default MOST UGLY GLIDER ?

Take a look at the Farner Colibri motorglider:

or the related microlight glider Aviafiber canard:

They are weird!

And do you remember Phil Lamson's « Quark » ? A 10 ft fuselage with
prone pilot position, and 20 ft wing (later extended to 30, then 40
ft). Unfortunately, I couldn't find a picture on the web. You'll
find it in "Soaring", June '67.
