Not just any old LS-3. The Aero Club Albatross (club) LS3 fondly dubbed "El Bondo"
P3 p.s. Looks like I know what my winter refinishing project is going to be... |

Way to go Dan! Great work.
I stopped in to Nephi and had a chance to talk to Dan when I was there. While everyone else was washing there glider, he was block standing the LS-3 with dry 400 (or 600) grit paper. He said, he had the only glider that had improving performance over the length of the contest :-) Rick |

Spring was approaching, and his Discus in partnership was in the green stage of self-refinishing.... He phoned and asked if he could rent my school's LS-3 to use at the Avenal spring contest. Sure. But it hasn't much for instrumentation, just a good TE vario. No matter, Chip took her over and whomped on the high-dollar, fancy-panel boys for three days. Then a job required him to go home. The others eeked ahead of him for a couple placements above the guy who only flew 3/5ths of the meet. Go, Daniel. It is definitely the human computer who makes the decisions. The trusty mount is only about 80% of the equation. Smiling, Cindy B |

When is the last time a national class contest was won by a club glider? I mean, a glider that is actually owned by a glider club, and handed over to the contestant for a couple of weeks to compete at the national level.

Well there was the 2013 1-26 Championships in Moriarty where Daniel flew "Sweet Red" to a win in a shootout with Ron Schwartz.
OH and Eric - I suggest you don't touch that LS-3 this winter. It clearly is running just fine. It's not nearly as bad as Templins, so you can always just compare it to that, and if you refinish it you have a big risk of messing it up! |

From what I saw, the radio and instruments could possibly use a tune up though. Way to go Daniel! RO |
