Is there any new scoop on the LS-10?

[John Bojack]

Was wondering if someone in Germany might have the latest inside info on
production. (possibly a few being produced now?)

I see it has done well in a few contests this year.

Thanks.

According to the DG web site:
- the prototype exists and flies
- the pilots who have flown it are amused
- DG will produce it
- no date given yet

Options are being taken for the LS10 now.
You can convert those into delivery positions when they start production.
The first deliverys of production gliders will be 2007.
From what I understand they will have the turbo option almost from day one.
The LS 10 fuse is an LS 8-18 one so the turbo will be exactly the same.

Just a tad bit on the cryptic side, John.

Think it was suppose to be in the LS-10 thread

That's what I presumed. Just love rattlin' his chain though.

Maybe it's the pilot, not the glider? ;) ;) ;)

Sorry, couldn't resist... o : )

Yeah, I agree

It was just a small sting for those dismissing Diana II success to "it's
just the pilot"-genre :)

It's fun to watch a pilot's performance after they get a new ship.

In general, it does nothing to their standings in competition, and
oftentimes, they get a little worse.

Interesting!

But the only pilots that will go fast in a Dianna are those that can
get in and close the canopy. The drag penalty is too high for the rest
of us.

On their news page (September 26th), they state, that they are commited now
and they hope to get started by 2006.

Well, then its time to try AltaVista's translator
(http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr) and enter the url
(http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/ls10-entw-d.html#Weg-frei). Then scroll down
the text for the latest news.

Sometimes it gives you some funny translations but at least from German to
English the results are more or less understandable.
