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!"
