Antares Electric Motorglider

#1 July 15th 05, 03:30 AM

As of Friedrichshafen they've delivered a dozen.
My friends who've flown it love it (and one has one arriving late this
year).
Time from gliding to full power: 5 seconds.
One handle, no fuss in the cockpit.
Super comfortable cockpit.
Heavy wings full of batteries.
I'm going to try visit and try it !
Best Regards, Dave "YO"

PS: Yes, they've redesigned the undercarriage.

You can fly it easily, but only in a simulator ;-).

Ola, one of the Silent Wings sw developers is working for Lange, so
Antares is one of the planes in the sim. http://www.silentwings.no
