Hello All:
While progress has not been as quick as we had hoped for, plans are moving forward to take the GP 14 E Motorglider to first flight very early in the new year and then for first customer deliveries soon after just in time for the beginning of the European racing calendar.
For a taste of what is to come, please have a look at the two links below for "first Look" at the innovative pylon/motor deployment system for this new motorglider in the 13.5 Meter Class.

- Quick Deployment (@ 5 seconds to deployment and power on)
- Minimal Deployed Drag (Pre-start/Post-shutdown)
- No Aligning of the Prop for Quick Stowage (@5 seconds to full retraction from power off)
Pretty cool!
