MOST UGLY GLIDER ?
I think the ugliest glider was the one flown by Icarus - you know the one
with feather wings held together by wax. Icarus ignored the placard about flying the mountain wave and it came apart in flight. The Crete FAA issued an AD note that no further gliders were to be constructed with wax. Other than that, I do not think I have ever seen an ugly glider. They are all so graceful in the air - doing what they are designed to do. Colin
