I appreciate the responses. But just to keep these posts from
wandering off into "buying your first glider" territory: 1) I've already owned 2 gliders. 2) The DG has a mid-80's metal-top Cobra trailer. The LS has a late-80's/early-90's fiberglass Komet trailer. Slight nod goes to the Komet, but its a razor-thin margin (we're talking about little details like a foot-pump jack versus scissor/jackscrew-type jack). 3) Both ships have auto-hookups. I fit well in both (I haven't flown an LS-3 but I have flown an LS-4 and loved it; but I've also flown a lot in a DG-300 and love it). 4) I have a one-man rigger. (www.wingrigger.com) :-) 5) The DG-300 has slightly "simpler" instruments; but still more than enough for effective contest soaring and with really nice new wiring. The LS is what I would call "fully loaded" on the panel with a lot of LCD screens and backup computers (too much if you ask me - and I'm an IT professional!) ...But likely with older wiring behind the panel (though haven't inspected it). Thanks! --Noel |
