Default What gliders do you hate?

Damn, Brother! I'd *HATE* that thing! chuckle, 'cuz folks that gag on
words need serious self evaluation, and I like my beer and waitresses to
have "body"

Again... I intended this to be in this spirit of fun. "Hate" is used loose and light here. Like guys sitting around drinking and saying "You know what I hate? Being rejected by the cute waitress... and this watery beer. I think I'll have another!"

(So, read everything below in a playful voice. It's the new year. It's cold. I'm dreaming of flying... and looking for laughs.)

Trying again, what gliders do you dislike, but not so much that you use a forbidden word as "hate" to describe?

Me.... The plane I dislike most is hard to sit in, has a special trailer because the designer couldn't stand to stick to convention, ground loops like it was made for it, has a fuselage you can twist by hand, and straight-out-of-the-factory gives the pilot a 30% chance of gear collapse on every landing.

Using hate to describe this glider would be wrong (of course) but surely I can admit that I dislike it?
