LS-1 sailplanes in the USA
I am assisting in researching the current details of the six LS-1
sailplanes that flew at the 1970 World Championships at Marfa, Texas. Specifically looking for those LS-1's that flew at Marfa that might be registered now in the USA. 1970 Standard Class champion was Helmut Reichmann of Germany flying D-0564, competition # "84". USA Team Member A. J Smith flew N9838, competition # "1". Details on present owners and location? Thanks, Burt Compton Marfa Gliders, west Texas USA

It is now in Mississippi after having the wings refinished. This was Henri Stouff's glider. Reichmann's ship is N564L s/n 27 owned by Ray Lovinggood in North Carolina

It came in as D-0564 and there is an entry in the log book that states this is the glider flown by Dr. Reichmann when he won the World Championship in 1970 at your home base. Burt, you say you are assisting someone. I would like to get in touch with that person. Thanks Ray Lovinggood Current caretaker of N-564L
