Minilak is cs22 glider, not ultralight.


I think it's a stretch to say it *is* CS-22 when it is not yet certified as such. Or at least I couldn't find any type certificate in the EASA database.
All existing miniLAK's will be flying on something else (PtF/Experimental/Ultralight). I have no doubt it is certifiable as it seems strongly derived from the LAK-17, the question is whether LAK will be able to certify it for self-launch, something I am sure all FES owners are watching.


Ok. I asked this exact question few years back at Lak factory and was answered that they will certify it as glider. Lak has good track record certifying gliders.
