When I first saw pictures of the T53 in Flight, I remember being very impressed with the visibility from the rear cockpit, but not with the non-tapered wings. What were Slingsby thinking of? I presume the cheapest possible manufacturing costs.
I see from the pdf attached to this page
- http://www.apss.org.uk/projects/APSS_projects/T53/history/index.html - that they put servo-tabs on the T53C to help with the aileron stick forces. Servo-tabs on a glider?
