The article vaguely states Yuneec has acquired the designs.
I'm guessing this is a design license, not production ?
I'll ask them when I see them at Oshkosh next week...


Best Regards, Dave


see if they have a smallish sized motor and prop that could fit into
the engine bay in my Apis-13, I retro-fitted the compartment a few
years ago but never added an engine. My thought was an electric
sustainer.


Thanks,
Brad


Hi Brad - Yuneec has a wide range of motors, controllers, and props
(they come from model aircraft world). Your problem will be the
batteries...
See ya, Dave


yup, it's always the batteries...................heavy and expensive?
