Hows a self launch starting at 6,200' MSL up to 18,000' MSL followed by a distance of 350 nautical miles?* That's what I'll be doing in June to relocate the Stemme from Moriarty, NM to Rifle, CO.* And it might use half a tank of gas. Of course, I'll only do it that way if soaring conditions don't support gliding the whole way.

Ok, you are not a current candidate for an electric motorglider (I knew that already :^) ) But, I'm still interested in Waremark's far smaller requirements. So far, the majority of the pilots I've talked to that are considering moving to an electric self-launcher think 100 sm is enough retrieve distance, and some think 50 miles is plenty. These are the people that are willing to drive from where they live to where they want to fly. I'm one of those people, because my wife and I like to travel in a motorhome with her sewing projects and sewing machine in it. |
