MOST UGLY GLIDER ?

Well, "Smyk" in polish means a rascal, a kind of a spoiled kid, and
also it can be used as a softened word for *******. Even though I speak
Polish I don't like the name of this glider. They should name it
differently. But I don't think the glider is ugly.....gliders are built
for purpose and the beauty issue is only in the heads of the @#%&^$#
morons.

And when it first arrived in Australia they call it the LARRIKIN .....
a mischievous kid.

And how many gliders/designs of similar or better performance came out
of Australia???
In Poland we also have a similar name for anyone who comments but can't
perform any better...

In Russia we have a saying (It could be Poland)

There are no ugly women, there is only lack of vodka.

Bit prejudiced against Poland, aren't we....did you already forgot how
you abandoned Poland, who supposed to be your allied, during WW II to
Hitler and then to Stalin? Do I have to remind you of the Polish pilots
helping to save London? And their superior flying skills? And you dare
to bring some garbage statements about Russia and vodka? And then you
are throwing Poland into this equation? I have heard, I believe on the
BBC News (isn't that English TV?) that England is leading the world in
deaths related to liver cirrhosis...so, maybe your stupid comments
about Poles and vodka are little bit out of place? And, since you are
the Alpha & Omega, maybe you can design your own glider....best L/D
55,000 at Mach 1.2 speed...this is really shame because I have quite a
few friends in England and you are only giving them a black eye. You
don't resemble the cool Brits that I know. And then you can throw your
racist garbage out of flying sailplanes.

As a Pole visiting London some time ago; I doubt if I know one
single Pole that could drink enough of vodka to beautify British women.
Applying your simplified method to gliders - there isn't one British
made glider worth mentioning...

But the PW5 ist still really ugly.

Ugly or beautiful it's a matter of liking and liking is not the thing to
discuss.
Personally I don't know why people don't like the look of PW-5, it's a
nice small glider, very pleasant to fly.

Pee Wee may not be the apple of your eye,
but apparently it flys fairly well.

A quick look at the FAI website and I found this little nugget.

FAI Claim number : 12269
Sub-class DW
General Category
Type of record : Speed over a triangular course of 100 km
Course/location : Chos Malal (Argentina)
Performance : 136.92 km/h Pilot : Osvaldo M. FERRARO
(Argentina) Glider : PW-5 Date : 28.11.2005

Previous record : 115.38 km/h (02.08.2003 - Larry PARDUE, USA)

Maybe at the end of the soaring day, grab a bottle of Vodka
or strap on those beer goggles and maybe the Pee Wee
will get better looking. (maybe)
