Which 18m FES sailplane to buy?

Though not an FES, I absolutely love my LAK-17a. It's entirely
different from the Soviet-era LAK-12 and has some features which I
consider to be superior to the German designs. Not all, of course. I
regularly fly with a friend who flies an HPH 304. Both ships seem to
perform equally well.

I fly with Dan M. at Moriarty and I absolutely agree with his comments about modern LAK gliders. My LAK-17B FES is a great ship and I thoroughly enjoy flying it. It is well made, docile, holds no surprises and it really performs. With 3 each, LAK-17s at Moriarty (two As and one B), they have all performed very well over the years with many outstanding flights uploaded to the OLC!
