Tony Solocombe Slingsby T45 electrifying
Posted: 10 Dec 2019, 12:36
I fly from a flat field in Blackpool and my gliders are all electric of the composyte style fron europe. I have for a while had the urge to build a scale glider, access to a tug is really limited and the nearest slope is 25 miles away so really a fan up the front is the only option.
I like the Slingsby T45, it appears to be a relative good first build
Does anybody know of anyone who has put an electric motor with folding prop in one ??? can it be done ???
I know electric motor is a swear word but my options are limited with regard to getting the glider aloft as they say
I have also considered the recent 3.4m Petrel that Chris Williams has done, Sarik have just introduced the wood pack for it
Thanks Chris
