Hi folks,
This is my first post on this forum. Very excited to be part of the HBA community.
Im more and more interested in motorglider, and ultralight motorgliders in particular.
I think they are a great way to fly for very cheap and great fun when soared.
Amateur built from plans seem to be pretty limited. what I've found so far includes:
Piumas from Italy (piumaproject) and Alpaero Choucas from france.
Very recently I bumped into these models I've never heard about before: TeST TST-5, TST-6, TST-7 Junior...
Above: TeST TST-6 Duo
In fact, it consists of an entire range of single seaters and side by side motorglider, most powered by small 2 strokes rotax, Czech designed.
Some of them might have been available for amateur construction.

I like the TST-6 duo in particular with tapered wings, Wortmann airfoil, small engine and overall very light.
However, information online are scarce about these aircrafts.
Anyone knows about them ? are plans somewhat findable somewhere ? anyone flew them before ? any impression ?
Also, I'd love suggestions on other models of ultralight motorglider that I don't know yet.
Cheers,
Christophe
