I CURRENTLY FLY AN L33 SOLO AND AM LOOKING FOR A HIGHER PERFORMANCE SHIP. tHE LS3A CAUGHT MY EYE. I AM ABOUT 6'1' AND 240 LBS WITH BROAD SHOULDERS (REALLY). CAN ANYONE GIVE ME OPINIONS ON THE GOOD AND BAD OF AN LS3A? THANKS GORDY Look at the Genesis 2. The same Cleveland wheel and brake system as is used on Cessna aircraft. A well designed and built wing spar which will not delaminate in turbulance, now or ten years from now unless you figure out a way to pull a lot more g's than any other glider is capable of pulling. A very large and comfortable cockpit which will easily fit you, shoulders and all. Climb performance equal to any other standard class glider, better high speed performance. Better stability in turbulant air. No gel coat. A tailboom which you probably can't break during a groundloop, off field landing, or bounced landing although anything is possible, just not as likely as with a regular boomsnapper. Read the thread about doing stall/spins in a Ventus because you probably can't do any of that in a Genesis unless you fly with a seriously aft cg. |
