Ok then, I guess I never really added my pick.

I've never been a fan of the way the Blanik looks.
No dig against where they are made or who makes them.

I think they look like a trainer for bomber pilots. Especially the
L-13 with the wing tanks and that enormous tail which I think came
from a B-25.

Yea, I've flown a few different ones and they fly just fine, I have no
trouble staying up in them. I just don't like the way they look.

So there all you Blanik fans! Flame shields up...
