Any opinions on the Taurus Electro? Side-by-side, pylon, self-launch, trailer option for solar array charging, etc. They claim the profile of the cockpit/fuselage acts like a lifting body.

There at least one of them in the US, so contact them for experienced advice. I
believe the 2020 SSA convention had a presentation on it, and perhaps there was an
article in Soaring Magazine. There is also at least one gas engine Taurus in the
country, another source for info.

I've seen both of the referenced gliders fly at Parowan, the pilots and passengers
seemed to enjoy the experience. I do envy the ability to taxi upright.
