Comment:
The LS-3 was a 15 meter racing class sailplane with full-span flaperons instead of the more usual flap/aileron combination. The flaperons are coupled with dive brakes to reduce approach and landing speeds. The LS-3a version has separate flaps and ailerons. All οΎ–3 series use a fuselage similar to that developed for the Standard Class LS-1f, which features a front- hinged canopy and a fixed stabilizer on a T- tail. The LS-3-17 version was offered with a 17 m. wing with no change in gross weight. ATC
