Roladen-Schneider LS-4a Sailplane

The "4" or "Three Whiskey" as it is also known, is CSA's only single seat sailplane. It is a fairly high performance sailplane and is a joy to fly both locally and cross-country. Three Whiskey is CSA's primary cross-country sailplane and many members fly it in pursuit of SSA badges. The LS-4a is a very docile, and comfortable sailplne to fly for long periods and many members have achieved their 5-hour Silver badge duration flight in this sailplane. LS-4s are widely used in European clubs because of it's flight characteristics and comfortable cockpit which make it suitable for even lower-time club members.
