Looking like “no flap” for sure. Lots of great responses. Appreciate them all. 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.

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.
