Default Libelle suitability for beginners

I would not recommend a Standard Libelle for inexperienced pilots if the
launch method is winching. Has a tendency to stall at relatively high

Otherwise great glider.


If you're signed off on winching then launching a Libelle that way is
benign PROVIDED THAT you've been carefully briefed by somebody that's
current on type and, preferably, also on that winch.
