Advice on H301 Libelle 17m

If you Google on "17m Libelle" this came up 7 years ago when I asked about
this. Stephen Crabb of SA kindly replied that he believed there is a 17m
Libelle in South Africa.

Always a Glasflugel guy (but I'm getting to like Schleichers......)

I am sorry i made a mistake, but even so thanks for the answers.

Yesterday I had the chance to have a look at the glider and it showed
that the guy from the repairshop and me and misunderstood each other.
He had talked about a flaped 17m Libelle, an´d I was talking about the
H301 and neither him nor me noticed that we were talking about a H201
Standard Libelle with 17m Span and "Spreizklappen" (both modifikation
from LTB Follmann) which are just an additional help for very short
landings.

I am going to take that glider home on monday, hoping to have some
nice flights in the rest of the season.

Any advice / pictures where to place an Ipaq in the Libelle.

Thanks a lot

As my Astir CS77 is totally damaged (The pilot, a friend of mine is
ok, but the glider can't be repaired) i am looking for a "new" glider.
I have the chance to buy a Libelle H301 17m. As I know that several
H301 are flown in the US, i hope to get some advice from ras.
For those who wonder: I can't ask these questions to the former owner,
because the glider is sold by a dealer.
I have no interest in competition, but i am looking for a glider which
is easy to fly (not like the ASTIR). Is the H301 the same pleasure to
fly as the H201 and H205, or a ASW19?
Who can give advice on take-off and landing (I am going to read the
manual but some times there are extra tricks).
My eyperince is about 400h mostly with ASTIR CS, Club-Libelle 205,
ASW19, TWIN I, K21.
Thanks

Hey, how about some pictures of this 17m Libelle and mods once you have it
rigged?

Hey, didja see the picture of the Libelle with a hinged canopy? Looks
like it is hinged but retains the great feature allowing the front of
the canopy to be opened in flight for ventilation. The picture is small
and low res but I think I can mostly make out how they did it. If anyone
knows any more about this "klapphaube" for the Libelle, let me know.
