Yep, 17b can be flown in all 3 spans if you want to lug all those tips around! Maybe even 4 (13.5)....! I think that glider is just a 17b with a cap on the base wing?

JS1c is an awesome, proven machine for sure. Sorry on the ASH ;-).

When clean, LAK goes like mothe..XXXXX. Beats V2 side by side on fast glide every time. Tried it dozens of times. Any rain or impurity, it suffers a lot and V2 climbs away as well as glides to sunset.

Can I get a 13.5 meter option too? That would be awesome!

According to an article I read (Gliding International I think) you will

not be able to fly 13.5/15/18/21. The 13.5 will have a different

fuselage than the prototype, in order to keep within class limitations.
