Sportine Aviacija LAK-17 Mini

Self-launching FES (front electric self-launcher) model in excellent condition. ~40:1 performance in a very light, easy-handling, 13.5m-span glider. This was the second glider ever (not just this model... THIS GLIDER) to soar all the way across the U.S. (for more about that, including photos and videos, visit http://soaramerica.wordpress.com). Self-launch from grass or pavement on your own schedule, and "self-retrieve" if you're out of glide range of home when conditions wane at the end of the day. State-of-the-art instruments with transponder and ADS-B. Mountain High oxygen system. The FES batteries have been stored in a climate-controlled environment and carefully maintained. Gear and airbrake alarms. Includes: one-man-rigger by MM fabrication, wing stands, tow-out gear, spare set of FES props, nose cone for pure glider configuration, two sets of charging equipment, discharging accessories, custom-made "Juice Box" (to neatly hold and transport charging equipment), thermostat-controlled electric cooler for battery storage, stainless battery cases, and more. I love this glider, but with mission "Soar America" complete, I have much less need of an engine and can no longer justify owning this glider.
