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)..


Ah, so "non factory installed modifications". That should require a handicap adjustment. :-)

Great contest, Daniel! Congratulations!
