Vogt Lo-150

The Vogt Lo-150 is a West German high-wing, single seat glider that was designed by Alfred Vogt and produced by the Wolf Hirth Company.

Design and development
The Lo-150 was developed from the 10 m wing span aerobatic Vogt Lo-100 as a performance cross country sailplane.

The Lo-150 is constructed from wood, including its wooden monocoque fuselage. Its 15 m span two-piece wing employs a Clark Y airfoil and incorporates flaps for glidepath control. Early examples use a take-off dolly and land on a fixed skid, while later ones use a fixed monowheel landing gear.

Fifteen Lo-150s were produced.

Operational history
Several Lo-150s were imported into the United States. A.J. Smith won the US Nationals flying an Lo-150 in 1961. Harold Jensen flew an Lo-150 700 km in 1962, winning the Barringer Trophy.
