Title: Thunder Gazer - Electric flight
Post by: fred cesquim on November 27, 2015, 04:15:46 AM

just came back from the first flight of Rogerio´s Thunder gazer
it´s electric powered and flies great
i was there in the middle with him and confess that i am totally sold out to electric flight, seems very peacifull and calm without the noise and smoke around you.
plane took almost one year to be finished and final weight is 1880KG
let´s see how he score on the competitions to come

Motor mount looks different. Do you have any pictures of it out of the plane?

Lots of cool aspects and great workmanship on that airplane.  I like the beautiful job with the film covering on the wings and tail.

Thanks for posting.

If he flies as well as he builds and finishes,  he will be a champion in short order.
