Default LS3-17 For Sale

A rare opportunity to purchase this classic gilder. She has been very well
looked after and flies like a dream. She has very low hours and launches
(845 Hours & 361 launches as of May 2009). She has her original Gel coat,
which is in very good condition.

The flaps give good slow speed handling in thermals and for landing and
the 17m tips give that improved glide angle or use the 15m tips for racing
on those very good days. A Large cockpit combined with a high max cockpit
load. (I am 6'2'' and nearly 16 stone) but she can also cater for the
smaller pilot with large adjustability of the seat pan and head rest.
Canopy is virtually scratch free and comes with a new 'Vertigo Covers'
matching blue canopy cover. She comes with a beautiful blue livery which
is very noticable when flying.

Comfort, performance and legroom but at a reasonable price!
