LS3A performance

Personally, I'd probably take an LS-3 over an LS-3A even though the
wing is heavier--the 3 has fully automatic controls whereas the 3A
requires some control connections--but I suspect that either glider
would perform very well with the proper wing profile. They're still
very nice, very strong gliders. It's not well known that when the LS-3
and ASW 20 first appeared here in the US around 1977, the '3 was the
hot ship to have.

Even though George Moffat won the 15 M nationals at Ephrata in 1976,
using an ASW 20?
