Default LS3A performance

I'm looking for info about the performance of ls3A.
I've seen the Dick Johnson report which basically
said the wing was 1/4' thicker at the wing root than
the LS3's, which lowered performance but was inconclusive
because he has only tested one plane. Perhaps some
real polar information? I've heard the A climbs better
but runs worse than the ls3 -- is this true?

Thanks - Rob
