Default MOST UGLY GLIDER ?

And you admit in writing that the T53 was above you, WOW !!

I don't mind admitting that a Kestrel 18 was above my K6 over Denbigh
though, (and the CFI was flying it, so it must be better...)

I'd never seen one of them before. It's lovely - I want one!

PS Ugliest? Dead heat between Kronfeld's "Austria", Slingsby/YS-53 and
Bijave.

Having sat in wave at Port Moak back in October and watched a T53 (The
original slingsby one, not the later YS) higher than me - I was in a Duo -
I am a little careful about what I say about them :-)
