Aero Club Albatross (ACA) is excited to offer our 1977 Rolladen Schneider LS3 “El Bondo” for sale. This highly-tuned racing machine has been fully “Templinized” in the ACA Skunkworks. Major modifications include:
- Extensive micro-turbulation across all flying surfaces and, importantly, the fuselage. Drag reduction has been speculated at in excess of 4% throughout the majority of the flight envelope.
- Low visibility matte finish provides optical and electronic stealth for reduced conspicuity in large gaggles.
- Electronics have been randomized using a proprietary intermittent continuity module, eliminating annoying leaching by other FLARM users.
- Mechanical systems have been damped extensively with a nano-technology iron-oxide coating providing optimal feel and the ability to easily maintain bank and pitch with minimal control inputs.
- Shiatsu massage mode (available at true airspeeds in excess of 110 kts)..

This sailplane is offered with many extras at no additional cost including:
- A vintage sealed lead acid (SLA) power source.
- 1979 Westerboer vario with 17 in-flight adjustable dip switches.
- Approximately 16 feet of Velcro attach points allowing for optimized placement of supplemental instrumentation.
- Pre-stained cockpit interior.

Any reasonable offer in excess of $50,000 (USD) will be carefully considered.

Note: Completely restored (zero-timed) Komet trailer available for purchase separately.

PM me to make an offer.
