Best Looking Sailplane

Gentelmen, and the winner is: SZD 24 Foka-5. Delightful to fly, too. In my opinion SZD-24-4 "Foka 4" looks better. But my number one is SZD-55! regards -- --=JJay=-- www.aeroklub.deblin.pl, my photos at airliners.net - http://tiny.pl/rcwl and some more photos http://tiny.pl/hxw5s |

I do agree that the ASW-20 is very nice looking. My vote however would have to go to the far more uncommon DG808. I think it looks great from the outside, somehow quite sporty. I also like the DG cockpit design, it's very tidy, and you can get the panel in carbon fibre which is pretty cool. The long canopy is impressive too, inside and out. There aren't many good quality pics of it, here are some favs: http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/Data/Po...ersperger2.jpg http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/Data/Po...ankreich-1.jpg http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/Data/Po...08b-dresse.jpg internals: http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/uploads...117b06.jpg.jpg http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/uploads...94af8f.jpg.jpg ooh luxurious... |

This is a test to see if it works. *Abnd it's end of season, so we need to know if the Minimoa or the ASW-20 is best looking sailplane. Maybe the DG-800? There can be no doubt that with form following function, beauty in the eye of the beholder, that the GAPA PW-2 is the most beautiful sailplane ever designed. The lineage of the PW-5 is apparant in the design of it's tail, and the influence of the Italians who designed the VESPA is obvious in it's elegant windscreen. http://www.soaravenal.com/40-Wheel7-25-9.jpg |

The best looking glider is the one you dreamed about owning for about 20 years and took a second job in order to buy. In my case, this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAPyzSjNGAs -T8 |
