Front Electric Sustainer system for sailplanes

[rcxorph]

Very cool! Listen to the vario sound while the engine is running!

Imagine this...

An electric generator with a magneto-drive.. driving an electric-engine, in the nose like this, strong enough for self-launching !!!

Is it possible ?? ABSOLUTALY.. all you have to do is to come up with a reliable magneto-drive for the generator, and the generator+magneto-drive is small enough to install inside the fuselage behind the wing-coupling.

@GoingToFast Go and tell God you have just created Energy, something even he had trouble to CREATE.

Great,

the use of a model R/C glider technique on a full scale, that's fantastic.

Congratulations.

Lets go back to the future. I like this old idea!

[duodiscust]

And how about resistance from the stowed blades?

[alfsrc]

@duodiscust - I read that they already have interest from manufacturers where it will have a small recess for the blades to stow in.

[nittmannn]

nice idea.

[lepton250]

old idea. nice execution.

And what is the average rate of climb?

And the lifthime (cost)of the batteries...

[bfhfhs]

climb rate at full power was more than 1,5 m/s
