From what I've heard is that performance decreases very fast when you
slip it. So you must fly it pretty accurate with the string in the

True enough, but the same applies to all gliders. You'll soon learn to
fly a Libelle with the string straight because it that: its no harder to
fly straight than any other glider, and it does like the string to be
pointing out slightly in a thermal turn.
