Phoenix ELECTRIC motorglider

[No longer active on TMGA]

This is clearly a concept plane at the moment, and while it looks like a Phoenix, it has a lot of differences. Watch this (the electric part doesn't start immediately):

You can see it's a shoulder wing to make room for the retractable gear, uses Discus wings, and has a very slim nose. As shown, about an hour's duration on the batteries. Cool! I won't be changing my order (even if it were possible), but I'm really intrigued by it. It's glide performance should be measurably better than the Phoenix S-LSA 15 m, especially at higher speeds.
