Wow ! I think these guys are SWISS. Electric Version on the Way.
Just to prove the point that we honor cars, boats, bikes, scooters,
Dragsters, AND Airplanes..!
To all my flying friends:
So light you can foot launch, and LAND, or use a big BUNGY Cord, or
get toed into the sky by a car, or TESLA-S !,
or an Ultralite airplane, or a Cesna 150. Can land on wheels, or just
stick your feet out.

Don't know if this was the same glider... but..
But if you OVER STRESS the super lite,, THIS can happen ! (

Some additional DATA at ( http://ruppert-composite.ch/ ) And INFO on
their ELECTRIC model.. here
Here is the English Translation:
Depending on the battery size, the weight of the drive and its
integration 20 ... 24 kg and enables see a rising output of about 2 m /
According to the flexible, fast and easy-handling concept Archaeopteryx
is also paid for the construction of the correct power to ski lifts on
achieving a rapid assembly and disassembly capability of the drive
components. So the sailors should suddenly become a electric gliders and
can be re-converted back to the sailors. Only a few parts remain
permanently installed in the aircraft, the remaining extra weight on the
sailor is correspondingly low.
The design of the special propeller and engine is perfectly matched and
optimized in terms of performance the Archaeopteryx. The propeller
vortex remains low performance under the tail and fold the leaves in
soaring aerodynamically advantageous in the current run of the cockpit
paneling.
The drive to the new racing season back in the spring of 2013 to be
ready. Price and delivery times are currently not known.
