Gandalf's Aviatics Heron is light single-seat motorized sailplane with excelent flight characteristics. It's equiped with large fuel supply hours and hours long flights.
Remember! Almost all of the aircraft I build are set to fly at 20% engine thrust for optimum fuel consumption and maximum flight range. But for this motorized glider is optimal thrust for straight horizontal flight only 11% due to small weight of airplane.
7 is for blinking lights.
