Guys
Many thanks for your thoughtful comments and insight. I had read most of the literature of every type of self-launcher and touring motorglider, but your first hand experience is what i needed to hear about. Clearly there are substantial tradeoffs and advantages and disadvantages for every type of motorglider (not even considering cost!). I will keep monitoring manufacturing developments, especially for less expensive electrics. Unfortunately i am too tall (6'4") for the Silent electric (assuming the cockpit is the same size as the Silent petrol). Key |

Key Hi Key, did you sit in a silent cockpit? 6'4" or 193 centimeter........... too tall........... MAYBE YES, MAYBE NOT: depends on the size of torso vs legs, I've seen a pilot 187 cm tall trying the cockpit of pure silent and fitting well with rudder pedals in the before the last notch adjustable position. Happy Landings.......... |
