Today's Name That Glider contest

Found on display on a rest stop kiosk on Interstate 10 in southern
Arizona. It's a photograph of a grainy photograph and hard to tell
what the glider is. Any ideas?

Bob is still racing and yes is flying an LS-8 currently but that doesn't
look like one and neither does it looks like the Discus B or A he had
previously....not sure what he owned before those other than his usual cadre
of 1-26's.

I concur. Wolf Lemke has a marvelous sense of what a glider fuselage
should look like, and that looks like one of his.

Could be an LS3 but the horizontal and elevator look a little too small
compared to the vertical. Also, the fuse shape doesn't look _quite_
right. Lastly, in the picture, while it appears that the left wing has
downturned tips, that could be an photographic illusion. So for my
money either an LS3 or Standard Cirrus.

It appears to have the straight leading and trailing edges of the LS-3
and the taller tail of the LS3a.

He did fly an LS-3 as well.

Any chance it could be an LS1-f?
