Too bad, for it was such a beautiful bird. With the DLC (direct lift control) the approach and landing were so easy.
Unfortunately Lockheed got rid of the moulds and refused to allow other manufacturers to copy the DLC system.
Anyone with an L-1011 Maintenance Manual has more than enough information to reverse engineer the L-1011 Direct Lift Control (DLC) system. However, without a flying stabilizer like the TriStar DLC is just going to function like it does on the TriStar.
