Standard Libelle

[Pam Kurstjens]

I would like to hear from anyone who has ideas for
improving the handling and performance of a Standard
Libelle, especially designs for winglets.

I added pre curved mylar to the ailerons and rudder.Also a turbulator
strip, (to the bottom surface of the wing as I recall).Both of which
improved the low speed handling.

I installed a set of wing root fairings and winglets to a Standard Libelle
here in NZ.
The owner was thrilled with the improvement to the low speed handling and
how much quieter it was in the cockpit.
Glasfaser Flugzeugbau sell the kits.
