Hi, I was flying today at one of my fields, which is a small airport. 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.
