Thanks !

A smart glider pilot would use it for launch only, cause as soon as you rely on it....the motors gonna fail.

I don't remember, but as you can see, you can T/O from very short runways.. basically you will recharge the batteries the night before the flight.. so I would say between 2 and 8h.. haha

@reverse thrust They were only given the glider to test on a flight. They wouldn't really have those details. The glider designer, Alisport would.

He's kind of a big deal, you know.

Francisco M. Del Castillo S. Exactly what i think about when watching electric glider videos, also it would be awesome to have some kind of recharging from the trailer which you transport the glider on, with the spinning of its wheels on a highway/road.

This is not possible for several reasons. First of all, if you let the propeller running, there would be a massive "airbrakes" effect which would significantly drop the L/D ratio. Secondly, your igc file would consider that your motor is running, which means you "outlanded". This is a good idea if you want a motorglider for fun, but that's it.

@@AntoineHavetGliding I'll take a motor glider for fun any day of the week;-) Was in CZ to buy the last M17 wood motor glider with all kinds of spares parts including manufacturing tools but 911 happened so shipping it to the USA then was not going to happen, and then got in a lawsuit with an HOA and exposed the corruption attorneys in the US rely on so never made it back over there as I expected to do. Nice to see a a full scale electric glider.

MsScruffy4 you didn't watch the video.

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!

@Cairo Coleman instablaster :)

@Roman Kaiden Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Roman Kaiden It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out !

@Cairo Coleman No problem =)

The Pilot Salut ! En effet, c'est un option proposée par Alisport. Néanmoins, j'ai eu du mal à m'installer lors de mon premier vol et il a fallu que je retire la casquette pour les suivants. C'était bien mieux ! Mes genoux touchaient la casquette car les palonniers ne pouvaient pas se bloquer jusqu'au bout.

Tout s'explique ! Bonne chance pour la suite ;)

Il vaut mieux porter plusieurs casquettes😌

Are you interested in a 2h flight video on this channel ? I may upload it. Nevertheless, this glider is now outdated in my opinion, and I would rather advise you to check out the GP14 Velo or even a Discus 2 which is now available with the FES system. Best regards, Antoine

Sorry for that ! It is a good but expensive glider. You should check out all the new gliders equiped with the FES system to have your answer ! :)

El precio de este planeador es aproximadamente 80k - 100k€ :)

MrDanielMUC it has been corrected now, hopefully learnt that before my CPL ;) Thanks for the comment and good flights !

basic training with st Yan method in french ALAT 1969. Roulis induit. These plane are pure jewels. I have a great respect for the men who make this possible and the builder of those marvels.

This is true as well. And it is a good thing to do in my opinion, to test the unexpected. Just imagine someone is not using the proper stall recovery manoeuvre. Here you can see that the glider still react in a positive and safe manner and that everyone can fly it.

The batteries are aft of the main wing spar.

If you crash you have way bigger problems than a battery smacking you in the dome
