Default 21m tipped Lak 17b!

Seems like an interesting multi-span glider.
Without having flown one, have to wonder how the Lak feels compared to the familiar handling of AS or JS.
Too bad it isn't possible to enter 13.5m comps too. The ASG29 and V2Cx could also have 13.5 tips fitted. The ASW17B was fun in 15m, And an inexpensive mod if there ever was one.

As to handling, I have about 650 hours flying the LS-6a and find the LAK-17a
(about 350 hours, so far) to be every bit as pleasant and responsive to the
controls. It also has a better rudder.
