Looks like 2-4% to me from the L/D diagrams. Very significant. Handicap committee?

Here you go:

Something to consider for 2015. The window for making changes is closed for 2014.

FAA Registration Database shows 2 LAK-17B FES registered in the US (no A models - is there a difference?). One is registered in FL - the registered owner shows up in SC for SSA records. The other one is in New Mexico. Neither registered owner has flown in a contest since 2005 according to SSA.

Maybe some FES models are coming to contest pilots in 2014? If so, they will need to fly with the normal LAK-17A handicap - if they fly in a handicapped class.
