Default LS-1F New owner interested in your experiences with the LS-1F

Ken,

I've been flying the LS1-f way back in Germany on the winch and always
enjoyed it. The one vice it has is the type of airfoil and it's
sensitivity to rain and moisture. When rain shower lines were coming
through the area you'd better get the plane on the ground. Stall speed
seems to go way up and the controls get very mushy. It also sinks
pretty dramatically with a wet wing.
As with all gliders, we would always dry the wings with a chamois or a
towel before putting it back in the air.
