ESCRIPTIVE AND TECHNICAL
The LS 8-s and LS8-sb are single-seater sailplanes with carbon fibre wing
shell, winglets, T-tail, wing and vertical tail fin water ballast systems,
retractable and sprung landing gear, and upper wing surface air brakes.
They may be operated in 15m or 18m span and winglets in both versions.
The fuselage structure of LS8-s and LS8-sb is different, because the
LS8-sb is prepared for later engine installation.
LS8-s: Rear fuselage constructed from glasfibre-reinforced plastic, no
engine compartment.
LS8-sb: Rear fuselage constructed from carbonfibre-reinforced plastic,
with engine compartment.
Otherwise both planes are structurally identical.
These sailplanes have been produced using the latest technology of
industrial fibre design (Glass-, Aramid- and Carbon fibres).
Models LS8-s and LS8-sb are designed for competition flights – high
performance combined with excellent handling characteristics.
