ESCRIPTIVE AND TECHNICAL

ATA

The LS 8-s and LS8-sb are single-seater sailplanes with carbon fibre wing

shell, winglets, T-tail, wing and vertical tail fin water ballast systems,

retractable and sprung landing gear, and upper wing surface air brakes.

They may be operated in 15m or 18m span and winglets in both versions.

The fuselage structure of LS8-s and LS8-sb is different, because the

LS8-sb is prepared for later engine installation.

LS8-s: Rear fuselage constructed from glasfibre-reinforced plastic, no

engine compartment.

LS8-sb: Rear fuselage constructed from carbonfibre-reinforced plastic,

with engine compartment.

Otherwise both planes are structurally identical.

These sailplanes have been produced using the latest technology of

industrial fibre design (Glass-, Aramid- and Carbon fibres).

Models LS8-s and LS8-sb are designed for competition flights – high

performance combined with excellent handling characteristics.

Vertical Tail Fin Battery

Optional. The tail fin battery must be equipped with a main fuse according to

drawing 3BR-199. Measurements L 155mm * B 35mm * H 100mm (over

terminals), 6V 7.2Ah, 2 cells required.

From ser.no. 8527 on (ÄM LS8-1): If an optionally battery will be installed

in the fin the locking bow (part 10L35 made from piano wire) must be

removed. The locking bow prevents the installation of a battery and serves as

indicator if a battery is installed, as its ends are visible from the outside.

Battery in Baggage Compartment

Optional. Installation on landing gear box, see Maintenance Manual section

4.8. The battery must be equipped with an appropriate main fuse!

Measurements identical to forward seat battery with identical holder or for

instance Dittel ZT 092, 12V 6.5Ah complete with holder.

After permanent installation of an oxygen system according to its

manufacturers instructions by an adequately licensed repair shop, the

sailplane including oxygen system must be inspected (Weight and Balance,

Loading Instructions).

When using a removable oxygen unit, its weight must be counted as useful

load.
