From a standpoint of personal preference I find this configuration more desirable than an engine that needs to be deployed on a pylon. The option to self launch combined with the potential to remain aloft while looking for lift adds some very desirable dimensions to this very addictive sport.

It will be interesting to see what the maximum endurance of the battery system will be, also what time is required to charge to maximum.

what if there were a Silent 2 kit with this version of an FES?
Wouldn't that be cool!
I'm looking forward to hearing more about this, can't wait.
