Default __Glasflügel_H301_Libelle_wanted


Sure is a pretty ship, but not so good a photo !
http://www.nadler.com/public/JJs_301.jpg
Anybody got something better ?


I believe the photo shows Dick Schreader in the prototype
HP-18 just behind my 301, wasn't his call sign 1 ?

JJ - Did we first meet when you brought this ship to
the 15-meter nats at Ionia or Elmira around 1981-2
?
OK, its official, we're old farts...


I took it to Ionia for the 15 meter nationals about
'82. Loved that ship, but the SSA went with manufactures
GW and that's 662 pounds.....................No way,
I couldn't make it without any water. She's a good
ship in sports class, but the Schuemaized Libelle is
something like 5 points lower than a stock 301....................
......don't believe its that good. I flew a stock 301
in the Reese nats and was doing OK until I had a brain
fart.
Yep, we're Geesers. Still love to race, just wish
I was better at it!
