RE: My first flight!
Opinions are just that, they are not always fact, point is if you like it you are the one to please, tell them that as long as this is a free country you'll fly it wether it is ugly or not, make yourself happy and don't worry about yahoos.( Not to be confused with Yahoo.com, no pun intended). Live for yourself Life can be very long or very short.
My wife thinks the Ultra Stick is the uglyest plane alive but I bought 2 of them, were't ugly until I crashed them.
