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

thinking
i=

give any

indication on when it may go into production and/or at what
price?

What I was flying was an experimental self-launch version of the
17B, not
a=
prototype 17C. I think it's LAK's test vehicle to try out
modifications
th=

MiniLak

I doubt that LAK will announce availability and price of the 17C,
until
jus=

the factory
p=
rematurely announced launch of the 17B and then were not able
to follow

Matt

I have a price list for the 17C, if you are interested contact your
local dealer!
