I flew an LP-49 in the mid seventies--20 flights and 27+hrs. Our club
replaced a K-6E with the LP and I never really thought the LP measured
up to the K-6. The only good thing to be said for the LP is the metal
construction can weather the elements better. I do not remember any
difficulties with rigging but it has been a long time--30 years. Hard
to believe how time has passed. Lynn Wyman

There are few RAS comments on the Laister LP-49. In photos an ungainly
design, but does appear a reasonable transition ship for a low-timer; 31/1
LD, retractable gear, flaps, auto hookups, aluminum wing. How large is the
cockpit? Anyone here with LP-49 flying & rigging experience?
