Default LAK 20

Was on LAK's web site and I see they have a 26 meter two place. Was wondering if anyone had experience with this glider, how it flies, performance compared to ASH-25 ??

Not many people have flown it, as there's only a very few built. I have seen two, but never flown unfortunately. One of them is in Italy, Alzate Brianza (and was for sale not long ago). The owners were/are quite happy.
AFAIK, no self-launcher was ever built. Only the T variant.

The rear cockpit seems a little short/tight. Performance is probably quite good as it's based on the LAK 17a wing.
The wing is made of 8 parts (4 each side). I don't know about control connections.

A couple went for sale at interesting prices in the region of 80-95K Euros.

I also hope to hear impressions from pilots.
