They more or less flew every day the weather allowed, take off by the FES. When I visited the LAK factory was there several mini LAKs in progress, according to the factory manager was there 7 gliders in the orderbook, all with FES. The one that flew during WGC will go to Norway, or has already been delivered. From my perspective is LAK way ahead of GP gliders. They have and flown the glider, they have gliders in progress of manufacturing . They have the capability to deliver gliders this year. I don’t know about the certification, the glider that flew had an experimental marking, I guess that the first 10 will fly on special “permit to Fly”. LAK has certified the LAK 17 and 19, I guess that Mini Lak will be certified on the same preferences as LAK-17. |

But the GP glider designs (13.5 + 15m versions) look a whole lot more interesting to me - both as glider designs and also the electric self-launching reverse pylon concept. I'd wait and see how their build quality, certification and performance work out before buying any other glider similar glider. |

Not heard much lately about this new glider development or certification. Anyone have one delivered?

The latest hold-up as reported to me just a few days ago is they are waiting on the correct battery connectors for the propulsion system. With an innovation project like this, it always seems to be something. However, company cash-flow is good and the company remains committed 100+% to the project's cxompletion AND commercial success. When the GP 14 flies, we are confident that it WILL bring the latest aerodynamics and performance to the 13.5 meter space. There is nothing "legacy" about this project!

At the bottom of the banner, there's a Not Now button that makes the
banner go away. Not much new there, just some announcements of new dealers.

I watch those links too. And was wondering if there was other activity that just wasn't posted. Something I'm watching during the coming months. There is some info about the GP 15 -- including 3-view drawings and prices -- at the links at the bottom of http://www.gpgliders.com/jeta-line. You may wish to follow their progress on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gpgliders/?...SEARCH&fref=nf They almost were able to compete last year in the Worlds 13.5 class but now, one year after the event, I have not seen reports of a glider flying. Still their specs and test results with the spar are very interesting. |
