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? |

I can't answer the question with just one glider. There are so many
beautiful designs to choose from. Current generation of single seaters: ASG-29 Previous generation of single seaters: ASW-27 And the generation before that: ASW-20. Especially the WL version with the 16.6m wingtips being hoisted up on the wire. Beautiful! And the generation before that: LS1-c/d. You really didn't think I would leave that out, did you? :-) And here's where I need the first two volumes of Martin Simone's trilogy on gliders, "Sailplanes 1920 - 1945" and "Sailplanes 1945 - 1965" to complement my volume "Sailplanes 1965 - 2000". But without those reference books, I'll go with the OP's proposal and say Minimoa. He's probably had one or two and knows what they look like "in the flesh."
