Motor Gliders

Post by DonHar » Tue Dec 08, 2020 6:10 pm

I know the purists will pale at my request, but is there a glider with self launching or sustaining properties available in Condor2?

I would like to fly in the Swiss Alps and though I can get some height by ridge flying I would hesitate to cross a mountain ridge without the safety net of auxiliary power.

Thanks

The Stemme can even be flown as a motorglider at pretty high speeds and at moderate powersettings it has a couple of hours endurance from the 50 liters in the fueltank

Thank you.

I have purchased the Stemme 512.

How does one activate the engine?

Thank you

Should have looked in Set Up before posing the question.
