Any LAK 17B FES owners out there?

Just took delivery of a LAK 17B FES and would like to share advice, tips,
etc with other owners. Is there anyone out there?

Congratulations David!

There is still an active LAK17A Yahoo group that also includes 17B owners. You might want to sign up.

Hello, I am considering purchasing a LAK 17B FES self launcher. I sold my DG 800 A a while back, looking into the FES technology.
Looking for more info from current owners.
Performance, room in the cockpit (I am almost 6'4" yall) etc.
Also, I am in Colorado, could somebody in this region contact me so I can come see the glider?
Thank you
S. Dimentstein

Did you intentionally post your message four times?

The LAK-17bFES is NOT a self launcher, though it has been done once that
I know of.Â* The clearance between the prop and the ground is very small.

Of course he didn't - but it happens easily. The MINI-LAK is the self -
launching version - www.lak.lt the LAK 17BFES is a self sustainer - but has

launched itself - but not licensed for this I think
