The motor TBO is 900 hours after which it needs new bearings.
Its about 57 hp and 8" across, and hollow.
Best Regards, Dave

Dave,
I think he was asking about the batteries. Any idea on the number of
charge cycles and approximate replacement cost?

The batteries should last 11 years and cost 12k Euros to replace.

Did anyone figured out the cost per, say, 1000ft of altitude, giving
the battery replacement cost, charging cost, engine maintainance etc?
It would be interesting to see a comparisom between electric glider,
motorgliders, aerotows and winch tows as for the overall cost per
1000ft of altitude.
