Electric Tarus - super bird or gliding's 787?
About this time last year the gliding world, at least in print, was
gaga over the Electric Tarus, and since then there has been total silence. What I read caught my fancy, and a friend in Durango, CO had one on order. But, before his ever came in, he was killed in the crash of a gas-powered Tarus, so I never got a chance to fly in an elecric one. I did get one flight in the gas-powered one, and it handled, and seemed to glide fine, but was SO underpowered and vibrated so badly under power, it scared me, and I told Jim he should'nt take anyone else up in it with him. Has anyone out there ever gotten an electric Tarus? And, if so, how about a pilot report on how it is doing compared to all the PR that was bantered about. Bob |
