Meet DG Aviation LS8-18
The LS8 was developed by Rolladen-Schneider and later produced by DG. Its slender fuselage, long wing and single-seat cockpit reflect its cross-country soaring role. The design became established in both Standard-class and 18-metre competition flying.
The LS8-18 name identifies the longer-span configuration. Launch method, ballast and available cockpit instruments are separate equipment questions, so they belong with the individual simulator implementation rather than being inferred from the family name or a photograph.
