Dexter Dog Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Lionhearts new Avelina Elektra! An awesome plane, a little bit different becuase it uses an electric motor! This plane has more features than one could ask for! An amazing and fun plane, perfect for some VFR or longer range flights, she handles beautifully - just really weird how quiet it is inside the cabin!

alan2 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Had not given it much thought before but flying an electric powered plane would be different . I suppose all the power setting stuff is now redundant , priming pumpimg etc. The more I think about it , the more i think I might not enjoy it as much as listening to an internal combustion engine fire up. Thanks for posting , sleek machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Dog Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Thanks lads! I had it over 20,000 ft last night on a trip from Cessnock to Coffs... you can actually throttle back to zero and feather the prop, then glide for a few miles!

2110 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Awesome, looks like a car with wings, the way the windows and doors are designed. I like the idea of electric motors, but then it would depend on the charge, I take it this is not copied from a real aircraft design. Very nice Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Dog Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Actually even more like a luxury car inside! The electric windows power up and down (but auto close on 120 knots), and charge comes from a little bio-fuel turnone you can run, or a small pop-out wind turbine, or optional (you might see these in my 2nd pic) solar cells covering the wings! Lots of functions that do something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonman Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 That's different ... actually i like it somehow - ... at least the idea of seriously trying to design planes in a sustainable way that is truly noticable... - sure it's still all comparatively new and young, but considering that fact it does not look bad at all i think... So: I might give it a try as well... but at the moment i am very busy learning to handle the good old PMDG 747 ... Thanks a lot Dexter Dog for showing this Electra here - and: A very fine couple of screenshots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosariomanzo Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Cracking shots and a fine aircraft indeed, I was just looking at some other LH planes (I own the Kodiak only), they are all nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
