Sorry Bernard,
It is a Sparrowhawk from Windward performance, not an ASW or ASG.
I like the e-volo copter design. This one looks like it owes
something to that concept of multiple small rotors.

Come to think about it - who left the SparrowHawk in the hangar with
the e-volocopter overnight?
This thing could actually work.
Now add a small gas turbine driving an alternator and some kerosene
and you can extend the range. This thing could actually work quite well.

I don't say anything here that I would not say to your face.
Nice one Arie.
You do bring a bit of costing perspective into the argument here.
The YouTube footage is interesting (horrific?), but I suspect basically
irrelevant.
I think that any glider pilot who knows anything about the problem, does not
want to experience an inflight cockpit fire UNDER
Mike,
Spot on!
Has the Co actually produced a prototype? It seems highly doubtful.
Lots of engines there - to go wrong. What happens if you loose 1, 2 , 3, all
of them at the same time?
How much?
I like the concept of flying it from the back yard to the local club for a
game of golf.
Paul,
Even ASH are welcome. However, as they are not as pretty as a K6 or just
about any other vintage glider they and their pilots are
heavily handicapped during any flying and social event!

Hi Mike!
You failed to mention that even the Sparrowhawk fuselage is a pretty good
copy of the ASW and ASG series of sailplanes.
It seems rather fashionable to copy the fuselage design of Schleicher
gliders
these days. The Jonker brothers have perfected the art. They simply made a

Hi folks
The weekend forecast is available at the link below. Unfortunately,
Saturday looks to be rainy with thunderstorms but Sunday should be
soarable.
I will update tomorrow as usual.

I think just being there will be a privilege, and I agree, the old birds

My contribution to the battery aspect of this thread is to question why we
are so infatuated by 12 volts? [I once wrote Standards, and Standards often

I also agree that the electrical systems must be designed and implemented

I'm sure Greg Cole, the designer of the Sparrowhawk and Duckhawk,
would disagree.

You usually move to higher voltage to transmit greater power at the
same or lower current which reduces wiring weight. I suspect in
light aircraft the power requirement for the electrics is driven by
systems other than the avionics i.e electrically driven hydraulic

24 or 28 volts doubles the number of cells in the battery. Not good
when using NiMH or Li technolgy.

Simple Question;
When flying a glider, is it OK to taxy off the runway after landing to
position the glider close to the rear of the launch grid?
YES or NO or It depends.. (give a reason)

Generally yes, the it depends on not hitting anything if you lose control or

There is a bit more to it than that! The files also can take some time to load

Once you have got to the CASA site select search Civil aircraft register
