We have compiled a series of clips from the June 23 test flight. Mostly just a series of takeoffs and landings checking the operation of the landing gear system. In this video you can see a couple of examples of where I was using the …
So we have gathered up just a portion of the video that we took during the flight test day. On the last flight we had accumulated 1 hour and 37 minutes of flight time. Most of the flight was rather unimpressive because we were continuing …
Aero Towing the EMG-6 With the Quicksilver GT 500 In this video we look at the Aero towing process using the EMG-6 and the Quicksilver GT 500 with a Rotax 582 two-stroke engine as the tow plane.
1st Aero tow with the Quicksilver GT 500 tow plane This is the EMG-6 first Aero-tow with the Quicksilver GT-500 Tow plane. Towing with the ground tow hook location proved to be a big challenge. The EMG-6 required nearly full down elevator to correct for …
Towing One of the concepts that the EMG-6 design was based on was the ability to tow the aircraft aloft using a variety of different type of vehicles. Not only for primary training but also as a supplement to battery power. The ability to tow …
GT 500 Tow Plane Flight Test Excerpt This is the 1st 10 minutes of an hour-long flight test on the GT500 tow plane that we have set up to be used for towing the EMG-6 electric motor glider.
EMG 6 Flight on Google Earth Overlay This is test flight number 55 and 56 from a little different perspective. We have overlaid the flight video with the .kml file from the Ascent flight data recorder output to Google earth.
