For those of us who don't know the back-story on AMS and the LS-4, can someone enlighten us. In today's installment of "How the glider manufacturers turn"... After LS went bankrupt, a very nice gent bought the LS-4 rights, toolings, and parts in progress (DG buying everything else LS-*). He endeavored to LS-4 resurrect production with AMS, and they showed one example constructed from parts in-progress at Friedrichshafen, then the subsequent exhibit 2 years later IIRC they showed the first (and IIRC only) unit built from scratch. I don't have any knowledge of the commercial misadventures or ultimate demise of this attempt. Even though the LS-4c is a fantastic club glider, they weren't able to make a go of it. Too bad! At least that's what I remember - it was long ago. Hope that helps, Best Regards, Dave "YO electric" |
