Comment:
The LS-8 is designed to Standard Class specifications. Winglets come as standard and a fin ballast tank is an option. Approach control is by top surface Schempp-Hirth airbrakes. Wingtip extensions bringing the span to 18 m. are also an option. At the 1995 World Championships at Omarama, New Zealand, LS-8メs scored 2nd, 4th and 5th in the Standard Class. ATC
