My first sailplane was a Goldberg Sophisticated Lady, which eventually came to be called "The Crunchbird."  Maybe you know the joke. 
 
    The Crunchbird is still probably flyable, just needing a battery and receiver, but I use its two meter wing every once in a while on my Miss 2.1, when I want to thermal the boxy electric monoplane. 
 
    I still remember Hugh Roger's comment about the Sophisticated Lady:  "They ought to make T-tails illegal!"
