I am at Oshkosh at the moment,( see Private Flying, Na na na na na.) Had a close look at the 17, inside and out and spoken to the crew and seen the demonstration. Forget the FLA for all our sakes. There is no point in re-inventing the wheel. If the FLA is produced it will be no better, later, more expensive and we will not sell it beyond UK and maybe a little in EU. The Americans will not allow us to sell it to anyone they don`t like and they will cut us out of any deal with anyone the will allow it to be sold to.
