When it come right down to it, I really can't tell you why I love that,
as you say, Ugly glider.
I guess I've always gone in for something different, not the run of the
mill, not the same thing DP or JW has, just so I can say I have one like
they do or think I can fly like them just because I have a plane like that.
To me it's not Ugly at all. In fact I really love the way it looks in
the air.
I don't mind the way it looks with it's rounded little nose pod stuck to
the tape either.
Go figure.
