    I think you mean "way ugly".

    I didn't think an airplane uglier than a Zenair existed...

    The visibility out the front is appealing.

    A bit ugly perhaps.... The double slotted flaps are pretty effective earth repellants too!

    I remember the first time that i hear that Earth that can repel ugly airplaine in the sky........ sorry for the Kitty that sexy plane will need a anti gravity field generator to by able to take-off verticlly...... Earth wont repel it for sure!!!

    For that experimantal Cub base plaine yes the view from the bulb canopy is appealing!

    I agree it's all about the mission.

    Take the time to see all it can do (there's even more video on it floating around on the net -like it jumping off a cliff over an ice field) and you will see that it was most definitely designed for mission / function, with little or no concern about aesthetics. In defense of that design priority, the moon lander wasn't pretty either....

    If I had the money it's going to cost, I would have one in the hangar next to my fox.
