Xenos 59 Electric Build

[Carlos Trigo]

Hi Gabe

Do you already have any website about the electric motorization of aircraft?

Thanks
Carlos

This is it!

Gabe

I meant an website of your own, where anyone can see what do you propose to put on the market, which parts and an idea of prices, and your best guess of availability

Regards
Carlos

I'm not one to market stuff until it's well and truly ready. I have been helping a few folks with systems on the side already, so if you have a specific need or application in mind I have some materials, including pricing, I can provide you.

Have made some progress on the dash and wiring. Hoping to button that up this weekend! Then it's onto canopy and cowling. Then final assembly! I have some friends helping over the next week or two for physical and emotional support to get me over the hump :) I am hoping she's ready for inspection in something like a month!

Last week did an initial weight and balance and trial fit of the wings. They don't go on that easy...

All up, ready to fly is about 800lbs. And CG actually came out just about as perfect as it could be. Just about dead center in the cg-range with a light pilot, and near the rear with 400lbs of people in the seats. Even with the super overbuilt motor mount and heavy battery, it's basically a perfect 1-1 swap. Amazing...

Hi Gabe. Use the you_tube button with the underscore. This is the link that I used. https://youtu.be/bKpgxAxw-cs

Has Lonnie carved you out a special "electric" propeller? I'm asking out of curiosity.

Thanks!

Lonnie did reach out to me but I wanted to get some "baseline" testing with this prop before trying anything else.

Canopy 90% complete. Final assembly (I hope) begins tomorrow with wings going on.

The ideal propeller for an electric XENOS would definitely be a foldable one.
Better yet, an electric folding prop...

Flame suit on...

Got airworthiness, commencing ground testing, and she's ready to fly!
