Airworld has an all molded 4.6 meter model of a Stemme. http://www.airworld.online.de/Englisch/Index.htm About $2000.00 before shipping costs from Germany. A bargain.

RE: [RCSE] WAY cool visitor at field today
That's a really cool sailplane... uh airplane... whatever. ;-) I sat in one at NBAA. Not ready to sell the Lancair to get one yet, but it's definitely on the required toys list. You actually need your sailplane ticket to fly it. D __ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] WAY cool visitor at field today
Saw one while sloping on the coast just south of San Francisco (the secret spot). Three or four of us were flying R/C gliders when we caught sight of this full scale coming up the coast. We all landed to get a better look and the hang glider guys scattered.

Dave, What you saw was a Stemme S-10 motorglider, pretty much top dog on the motorglider food chain, and just a ridiculously impressive aircraft. Not only 75'plus span, but comfortable side by side seating for two adults, fully retractable landing gear (in a tailwheel configuration) close to a 50:1 glide ratio, min sink of 112ft/min, stalls at 48mph, 700nautical mile cruise range, with powered service ceiling at 30,000 ft, revolutionary centripetal propeller deployment from a telescoping nose cone. The engine actually sits behind the occupants and drives the propeller by a torque shaft extension that runs between the two front seats to the nose cone. Single lever transition from glide to powered flight in 5 seconds. Wings are foldable by one person to normal hangar span. All ground operations can be performed with wings folded. Read the brochure at: http://www.stemmewest.com/pages/S10_E.pdf Unlike almost any other motorglider in its performance class, the S-10 is perfectly fine to use as a cruise aircraft,(in most the motor is reserved for launch-only operations) It has 139 mph turbocharged cruise speed burns maybe 5.2gal. per hr., which works out to about 27 miles per gallon. Cockpit has complete instrumentation. I'll stop before I start drooling on the keyboard here. Oh, wait, did I mention the solar panels that provide 30W of electrical power for onboard equipment when the engine is off?

Looked over to the horizon and saw this huge glider coming in for a landing. My first thougt was, Skip Millers here! :-) It was a huge t-tail motor glider. It had a 114 hp Rotex motor, mounted in the nose. Had retracts. 77' span. It was a six servo wing, well functions anyway, and spoilers. Cruising speed was 135 knots. Cost, well I was telling my girlfriend about it and asked her what she thought it cost, and she guessed $10,000. I said I had that much in molded planes and gear in my van, only because one was a Icon. :-) (just joking Don) Cost of motor glider, 1/4 of a million. Made my hobby seem real cheap. Going to order another Icon. Dave Hauch Mich. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] WAY cool visitor at field today
Thanks Scobie for all the info. He took off and circle around the field only a couple hundred feet up and came back around for a fly-by about 50 feet off the ground, this baby was hauling butt! I couldn't believe how fast it was going in such a short time, almost clipped a light pole when he banked it around like a crop duster. Sure was alot of wing there.
