I flew a LAK-17a (not an FES) for about 650 hours and found it to be
delightful to fly both dry and with as much as 50 gallons of water on
board.Â* You would hardly notice the difference in handling qualities.

Hi David

Wondering if you had had a chance to fly it yet?

Keen to know about the handling (with water) at close to Max AUW and also climb rate of the FES (dry). The polar looks close to the ASG-29, but how do you think that pans out in the real world?
