Whatever happened with the LS-10?

Just curious whatever happened with the LS-10 I heard years ago when DG acquired the assets of Rolland-Schnieder they were to make an LS-10 with a larger cockpit. I also saw that a few LS-10 were made and seemed to go very well. Anyone know how many were made, did they perform well, why are they not as popular as the other LS series gliders?

DG "offered" them for sale for awhile. I'm not sure where they ended up with certification. Holger Beck was flying one in Germany for awhile that was speed limited. By the time DG was more or less ready to go the market was saturated with the ASG-29, Ventus 2cx and the JS-1 appeared right around then.

I also have no idea what happened with the LS-9s (updated self launch LS-6)..

LS-9 & LS-10 both have EASA type certificates, the LS-10 is listed on DG's
website:
"The company currently produces sailplanes and motor-gliders type DG-808C,
DG-1001, LS8 and LS10 in multiple Versions."

The rumor I've heard is that despite tweaks and tuning, Wolf Lemke and team couldn't make the LS10 substantially outperform the LS6.

Thanks, Bob K.

....The takeaway there being that the LS6 is a darn good glider, and hard to beat.

I know the LS-4,6,8 were great gliders. How does the LS-10 compare to the current crop of 15/18 meter birds, V2cx. ASG-29?

Out of production, only 10 were built.

You are speaking of the LS-9?
Placed in this thread, that is deceptive and confusing.

The LS-10 IS IN PRODUCTION.

There was one for sale for a while on W&W's; I believe it was in Canada.

There will be an LS-10st for sale on Wings and Wheels shortly. Great glider! Bought a self launch glider. The one from Canada was purchased by a southeast pilot.
