I am considering to buy a beautiful LS1-D. However, I have never had the chance to fly this ship, so I do not know anything about the glider regarding its flying characteristics. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to perform a test until April. Are there any people here that have experience flying the LS-D? Is it an easy glider to fly or does it need some time to get used to? Is it a pleasent glider to fly?

Thank you very much!

I second what Ron said, flew that type back in Germany launching on the winch. The only negative I would report is it does not like flying in rain, much like most of the early glass ships. Laminar flow area goes to zilch and the stall speed really goes up.
