Ok, I'll play:

Club: ASW-19 - sexiest fuselage ever.

Std: Discus 2 - cool wings!

15M: LS6 (yeah, I know...)

Open: ASH-25 Oh man it defines TINSFOS.

We must all be very bored. Here are my picks.

Club: K-6E
Standard Class: DG-300
15 Meter: Diana 2
Open Class: ASW-22
Vintage: Sisu
Self Launch: Silent-IN

See if you can figure out what I fly.

The V2ax unless it recently grew is 15m. How about the V2cx for 18m???

I think the LAK-17A is prettier than both, and I no longer own one 8^(

What is the most beautiful glider in the following
classes?

1. Club

2. Standard

3. 15/18m

4. Open

To get things going, my personal opinions would be:

1. Club - Libelle

2. Standard - ASW 28

3. 15/18m - Ventus 2a

4. Open - ASH25

Bar the Libelle, these are all fairly modern, so lets
see some of the older ships!

I'm torn between two...ASW-17, Kestrel 17.
