The LS series gliders were just a bit too tight for me. However, I always wondered how the factory went bankrupt with producing the must have LS-4, LS-6, LS-8. I did see Ray"s 7V LS-8 and thought if someone was interested in massaging this glider it might do even better. If I remember it had no zig-zag tap and I think, it did not even have mylar on the elevator.

Both DG and LS were the only gliders to actually build in an air exit in the tail.

On a side note it is because of LS, and Lange, that I decided against ordering a JS-1C. A company with a single glider and low production rate doesn't instill confidence that they can remain viable. While the products from LS, Lange and Jonkers are wonderfully built, designed and bring badly needed fresh thinking to the community I will stay with manufacturers who have withstood the test of time. Just this reporters opinion.
