I must admit to being more than just a bit curious as to the developments surrounding Electrically powered WCM’s and gliders. Can you imagine how awesome it would be to fly in a powered aircraft with nothing more than windnoise around you? I don’t think they have been fully developed to potential because of the problem surrounding Battery life/endurance and of course the high cost of construction….but it does make for some interesting reading….folding props….all sorts of interesting ideas….and the battery options seem to be getting better and better.

I have no idea on their cost, but with high quality batteries/titanium contructed frames.....must be a bit crazy?
