Again, based on the EASA note and the Schempp-Hirth experience, this

Agreed, which makes its applicability to the one Std. Libelle, H.201b,
s/n 169 particularly intriguing.

S/n 169 was a one-of-a-kind Libelle with T-tail, made for Eugen
Aeberli, one of the three "fathers" of the Libelle (Hänle, Hütter,
Aeberli).

Changes compared to H201: - rounded fuselage beam - T-tail - 5 cm
broader cockpit - contoured wing/fuselage transition - flat canopy, as
for H301 "open class" Libelle. Water ballast and winglets added later.
The glider was built in 1970 as a kind of prototype for the H 205/206.
