Like the name does not all ready look like “ASS 4 Me”. Try unseeing that. Gotta go, my therapist is calling. OK, that's funny. Darryl interprets obscure acronyms to discover the real meaning once again. Surprised he hasn't pointed to the elephant in the room. ADS-B is specifically designed for implementing User Fees on ATC contacts. Next generation ADS-B Out equipment will probably have a credit card reader.. |

AS34 - new electric standard class self launcher
The FES system allows the pilot to take the two batteries to home for charging. The batteries in the AS34 are in the wing. It isn't clear but it seems you have take the whole glider to a power point. If so, it might limit its appeal unless you can park in hangar with a power supply, or fly at an an airfield that provides electricity to every trailef.

You may also be able to use a small 2 to 3 KW portable generator to charge the glider. Quiet, and inexpensive compared to the glider. Being able to remove the batteries is a real convenience if you don't have electricity nearby. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |
