Dual Tires on Libelle 201b

With separate brake controls, one for each wheel. :-)

The September 2004 issue of 'SOARING' magazine has
photos of the Libelle 201b flown by American Tim McAllister
in the Third Club Class World Gliding Championships
and this slighty tweaked Libelle looks a bit different.

1. It has winglets, and
2. It has dual tires, like the ASW-22!

What's the deal with the dual tires? Does it permit
a higher gross weight? But if it can carry a lot of
water, do the European Club Class rules allow water?

That was the first thing that caught my eye on this libelle. I sure
think that the dual wheel makes the glider look "ugly". It sure looks
a lot better when the wheel is up and out of the way.
