About this time last year the gliding world, at least in print, was
gaga over the Electric Tarus, and since then there has been total
silence. What I read caught my fancy, and a friend in Durango, CO had
one on order. But, before his ever came in, he was killed in the
crash of a gas-powered Tarus, so I never got a chance to fly in an
elecric one. I did get one flight in the gas-powered one, and it
handled, and seemed to glide fine, but was SO underpowered and
vibrated so badly under power, it scared me, and I told Jim he
should'nt take anyone else up in it with him.
Has anyone out there ever gotten an electric Tarus? And, if so, how
about a pilot report on how it is doing compared to all the PR that
was bantered about.
