Matt, anything more to add? The Facebook post hints that the

C's wing

thinking

give any

price?

Duster thank you, yes I was thinking of the two-stroke sustainers.

I have had a 17B FES on order since December 2017, delivery
expected April 2019. I was offered the opportunity to change from
the B to a C, there was a significant price increase for moving to
the C. A price list should be available from your local dealer. I was
advised that the only aerodynamic difference between the B and
the C was an increase in wing incidence near the root and that
new Bs will come with this modification.
