Blanik? I must be a masochist...I flew one for 8-1/2 hours straight one day...

I could still walk after landing....

I also got a NJ state 2 place distance record in a Blanik...not very far...138 miles...but, it was raining during the whole flight! (SE ridge)....

So Blanik is not so bad...

In the spirit of fun, what gliders (makes or specific ones) do you hate, distrust, or are just plain tired of. Have you given so many rides in one model that you never want to see it again? Is there a plane that, despite treating it right, just seemed to want to hurt you? Or is there one out there that is just so ugly that you can't stand it?

My pleas won't work, but let's keep it fun. .... I'll save my example for later in the discussion but I'll give you a hint; it's Polish made.
