I am fortunate to own the first electric self-launch glider to fly under Australian skies. It is a Pipistrel Taurus Electro G2.

A few months ago, I wrote a story that explained the background and my journey to owning and flying this impressive little aircraft. The story was published in the Gliding Federation of Australia’s Gliding Australia magazine.

You can read the article here .

Electric Avenue – Taurus Electro G2

I’m posting these links as a precursor/background to a story I will write soon about three wonderful days of flying this aircraft from our airstrip in Tasmania.
