Our club just added a rebuilt Libelle 201 B to our inventory, We rescued this from a donor and it will be available to club members. I will post pics ASAP but you can view on the Facebook, Soaring Forum Group. We are developing young purist for the generation to come. Old Bob, The Purist

Good move - but then I would say that! You're welcome to use my Libelle
handling notes as an intro for pilots converting to it. Members of my
club have found them helpful:

Thanks Martin, this is the third glider that our club member has rebuilt for us, the Phoebus was first then the Libelle, we have a LS-3 almost done and a 233 that looks better than new. I did tow the Libelle back to Vero Beach today from Treasure Coast Airpark, the young guys and gals will really like this ship. Old Bob, The Purist

Here's a little video of the new ship! This Libelle is stunning. No reflective visibility tape required.

Very lovely! And I really like the Ball vario, which I also used in my Libelle about 40
years ago. Very retro. The only thing better would be replacing the other vario with
another Ball, so you could brag you had two ... well, two of them.

> Eric, when I received the call from the donor I wasted no time going down south from Vero and taking a look. I knew that this had potential for a good starter ship for the youth and others to enjoy. I loaded it up on a trailer and brought it to Vero where we turned it over to our craftsman , Randy who started and never slowed down. I hope that you took a look at the video as we prepared for the first flight and the tow trip to Vero Beach. I pulled the ship with my Pawnee, yes that fuel guzzling carbon burning pesticide smelling tow plane, that flies better than a motorglider! Yes, I will be looking for another Ball, so sad that it has only one. Old Bob , The Purist.

Shoot, Bob, the Libelle is so light, you could tow it with a motorglider. If I lived near
you, you could teach me to tow a Libelle with my Phoenix (already has a Tost towhook).
That'd be fun.

Oh Herbert, you should try and stifle your pompous diction, last time you made these type of replies you ended up looking pretty bad.

Kingfish, I am never at a loss of words for you and old Herbert, at this time I am trying to find the appropriate name for Herbie. Your partner has been a very bad boy and violated the agreement of the Soaring Forum and had his vile post removed, you two twins need to start behaving. You two remind me of the Cuomo brothers, you must be passing emails between you two. Old Bob, The Purist
