Youre worried about the increased drag from a FES? Looking at that video, Id be more concerned about the increased drag from that appalling panel fit, never mind the huge gaps and the numerous screw heads. Look at the rear, where the pylon extends: that panel is sticking about 5mm above the fuse.
It looks like a dodgy home-built botch job. Btw why not make the thing extend towards the fuse? I cant recall if the motor was too wide, and life is too short to wait for it to load again From: Aus-soaring [mailto:aus-soaring-boun...@lists.base64.com.au] On Behalf Of Mike Borgelt Sent: Tuesday, 20 September 2016 7:26 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.

I found a schematic diagram which indicates that the motor has a pusher folding prop. Not sure how it retracts and fits in the fuselage with the blades sticking up? Here you go: http://www.gpgliders.info/technik/ Scroll down to the videos. They took quite a while to load here. The link seems slow. Sheer bloody genius I think.
