Congratulations to Simon Schröder
He won the Bavarian Championships in Standard Class on a LS8 and qualified for the German Championships in 2017.
The glider is equipped with DG’s new Winglets and the small tailwheel. The LS8 “neo”, as most of the pilots call this new version, shows advantages especially during climb with high angle of attack. Higher climb rates and agility allow carrying more water, which in result improves dynamic soaring and gliding as well.
Simon told us, that he could clearly feel the difference in comparison to his competitors.
