T Tailed Libelle?

I see on Wings and Wheels there is a T tailed Libelle for sale. I
don't think I've ever seen one of these before. I don't see any
reference of that configuration on the sailplane index. Can anyone
give me any info on them, like how many were made this way, and any
other relevant info?

Thanks

My 1997 Soaring Sailplane Directory shows a T-tailed Club Libelle on
page 59.

Sorry, incomplete answer.

"The Club Libelle is an outgrowth of the Standard Libelle design. Double
taper wings raised to the shoulder position provide greater clearance on
landouts. Th wings carry broad-span trailing edge flaps for approach
control. The landing gear is fixed and a T-tail replaces the low-set
tailplane of the Standard Libelle. ATC.

It'll be a 205 Club Libelle, T tail, Fixed u/c, high wing . I think
about 170 were made.

that would be the Club Libelle.....really not close to a Libelle...different
in almost every respect....different tail, fuselage, cocppit, rear hinged
canopy, Hornet wing with trailing edge dive brake....like I said, not close
to a Libelle ..but still a nice glider...we have 2 locally I imported
several years ago..

The TN is just for the spar web, not the wing skins. You could both
be correct.
