You guess wrong. That's exactly what I do. I guess you don't work in any engineering where someone looks at your product and says do they really look like that? If so, we'll buy two sets…(These were NASA contract engineers with more PHDs than I have had hot dinners.) There's no reason why a machine should not look as good as it works other than the lack of imagination or laziness of the designer. There are plenty of cars and boats made in numbers as small as sailplanes, where great care is taken over every aspect of the design, not just the aerodynamic engineering. Take a look at most of the Jonkers products. Oh, and there are a few gliders which don't just use wheelbarrow handles on control columns. I guess you don't see enough modern gliders. >>Besides, you are a cowardly anonymous troll. And you?
