The Apis is a clean looking ship from the pictures that I have seen. Is it
considered and ultralight?
No, not in the US. It does meet some European countries UL regulations.
The empty weight of my kit Apis 13 was 300 lbs before I added batteries, radio
etc.

How does an ultra light design compare to a German 15 meter design?
I can't speak for the other "light gliders" but the Apis uses the same high
quality fabrics, resins, fillers and foams that the German manufactures use.
This is a very important point for quality control and reparability.

I have been quite curious about the Apis as a motorglider (no tow plane here
on this Island "Kona")
I'll bet it will fit your needs without emptying your wallet.
