[3] Designed in the 1970s, the Nugget was intended to compete with the new European fiberglass gliders that were beginning to appear, and as such incorporated mixed construction methods.

The wing employs a Wortmann FX 67 170/150 airfoil and has flaps.

The long span flaps serve both as speed-range drag reducing camber changing devices and full deflection high-lift/high-drag landing flaps.

The LP in the designation indicates Laister Products and the model number is the wingspan in metres.
