Words like “simple”, “predictable “ and “sweet handling” are what I hoped to hear. Are you going for the H201 Libelle, still one of the top gliders in all those categories? Kempton did a 1000km triangle in his 201B out of Tonopah, a western US (from OP) site. Jim The newer gliders have far better crash protection than a Libelle. Much as I liked my H301 Libelle in the '80s, I would not fly one now. Go for the newer ones. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Dec 2014a" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://soaringsafety.org/prevention/...anes-2014A.pdf |
