Default Libelle suitability for beginners

That's the glider! My father flew it in the 1977 Standard Nats at Ionia, MI and the Cordele regionals in August. I had a few flights in it that fall at the Chilhowee, TN Oktoberfest gathering. We had a number of practice flights together with me flying our first 201 (ca. 1970). Great memories! Thanks for posting the links. She still looks good 43 years later!
