There are no hateful gliders.

I understand where you're coming from, but some gliders are nicer that
others. For instance, I'll take an SZD Junior any time if the other
choices are a G.102 Astir, ASK-23 or PW-5. I've flown all four and for my
money the Junior is more responsive and generally nicer to fly than any
of the others.



I guess I've flown mostly loveable gliders and own a couple of the finest
flying machines that out there (Ka6 and Std Libelle). If I had to pick my
least favorite I'd have to pick on the hapless 2-33. Not really a bad plane
just not as fine as the rest if you can stay out of the back ;-)
