I just returned from Airventure and had the opportunity to preview the ePac and see Jeff Goin fly it. In short, it's 13hp, 66LB, amazingly quite, and so little...
Greetings! Nice summary, I'll have more comments on it when I get a chance to put up the details and pictures. If you have any pictures I would welcome them. ...
I need a source for an electric motor of sufficient power for hang glider application (12-16kw). I'm gathering components for a new configuration similar to...
Maybe here: http://www.lmcltd.net/ Many folks testing electric in flight (Yuneec etc) seem to be developing their own motors? As if off-the-shelf won't do?...
Try the predator 38 by plettenberg. It would be awesome to have the weight concentrated by the cg but how are you going to do that? Joe ... [Non-text portions...
Mr. Fishman claims to have designed and built his own motor, even though it looks a lot like the PERM 132. He definitely built the 50hp model on his...
