Comment:
The H 201 Standard Class version of the flapped H 301 Libelle first flew in 1967. It originally had a fixed landing gear; but with a change in the Standard Class rules, a retractable gear (H 201B) became standard. The B model features larger uppersurface dive brakes, a larger stabilizer for better low-speed handling, PVC foam filler for the wing ( instead of balsa) to increase durabillity and profile accuracy, and (as an option) a water ballast system (50 kg. /100 lb.) with highter gross weight. The specifications listed here are fore the H 201 B. In 1970 Sue Martin of Australia set a womensï¾’world Out & Return record with a flight of 656 km / 407.64. ATC
