What was that thing?



Probably some sort of motorglider. I've seen both pusher and tractor


With a 16:1 glide ratio? My 3100 # Deb is well better than that.

prop motorgliders with a V-tail with an aft fuselage that looks like
the Diamond series.


It looks like a fast ultralight that would quallify for sport plane.
