Oh, I think there are plenty of homlier-looking gliders than that. That
may not be the nicest-looking Woodstock, but I think that there are
much stronger contenders for the title out there.

Personally, I've always been a fan of the 12-meter Woodstock. It's a
great little ship within its intended context: getting into the air
cheaply in something you built using simple woodworking tools. When
finished with varnish and clear dope they have such a pretty variety of
natural colors and textures. And when you take the time to form a nice
canopy and nose bowl it goes a long way towards hiding the somewhat
angular nature of the design.

The problem with the Woodstock is that the context for which it was
developed is pretty much extinct. Kids these days tend to spend too
much time on the couch, and they don't take woodworking classes. When
they want to soar, they tend to do it by investing money and not time.

Thanks, and best regards to all
