I have way too much fun!
In the United States of Georgia, "beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes to the bone!"
I agree that this is will be a great little jumper(RV-12), but you gotta chunk the cult mentality that dictates that everything from Vans is pretty or great. ITS UGLY, but so are many other great airplanes. A Falco is pretty, a Lancair 360 MkII is beautiful(in the air), a North American P-51 is a work of art and a Vans RV-3 is pin up material. With that subjectively said, the Boeing B-52 has a nick name of BUFF(Big Ugly Fat F*&^%), the MD AV-8B Harrier will never win any beauty contests(but it is a good multipurpose aircraft for the Marines) and the RV-12 will give the Zeinth offerings a run for the last girl to get asked to dance(but all reportedly are good, safe mission fullfilling aircraft).
FWIW and with apologies to Dennis Miller, I end my latest rant.
