It is worth mentioning that the 27 and 29 are capable of self launching with FES.

So for about 30K you can convert your 27/29 to a pretty reliable electric motorglider.
I am considering this option but probably not this winter.
If any shipment from US (in particular west coast) to Europe is planned I would like to know about it.

Ship shown is a special version with additional battery cells to provide higher voltage, thus more power. Also, I think it has a different prop. I would assume this is an option that can be ordered, but the question should be asked. Note that, for 27 and 29, it is only suitable for paved sites due to low prop clearance. One tail wheel bounce on a rough field and the prop is broken. I watched FP launch and it got out quite well.

Lack of meaningful prop clearance forces two-point takeoffs, as is
clearly visible in video. Not a real smart way of flying.
