there is the down side to electric?your take off weight is the same as your landing weight.that is why it is good on light aircraft like trikes but power to weight ratio is poor for larger more powerfull aircraft as fuel burns weight decreases and range increases.any thoughts?
We were at the Paso Ultralight christmas party where the developer of the eGull was and we were talking aobut and watching videos of it fly. Much of that noise (? all of it basically?) is propellar slap. He's (and others) are working on quieter propellers.

This is The Green1 self launch Motor Glider Trike From eUP Aviation inc. www.eUPaviation.com
Batteries available for 30 minutes 1 hour or 2 hours of managed flight.
In air shots have wind and prop noise. I was flying the trike and the noise in the cockpit is minimal. Vibration negligent. Very nice change from piston power. New prop designs will lower the prop noise even more! We plan on doing more testing around southern USA late February and or early March

I want an electric trike too....it is great to see the development of these trikes...Anyone knows how long will it fly on a full charge?
is all that noise from other aircraft or from electric propeller
