Hello all,

I’m designing an electric ultralight self-launching sailplane called “Echo”.

This project log is intended to share with you the long process of designing, detailing, testing, and building a design from scratch. Or at least my approach to that. If I’m realistic you can sit back and enjoy the ride for somewhere between 6 and 10 years. I encourage PMs discussing details and will always consider suggestions whether they influence changes or not. If a topic bears open discussion we can do that in the open forums here: Discussion: Echo (Ultralight Self-Launching Sailplane) design

I expect a reasonably active post schedule at first, while I catch you up. But after that? Well...things move pretty slowly in the “one person, one-off” design world. Hopefully, your patience (and mine) will be rewarded.

Here’s how she looks today...

Enjoy,
Peter Hudson
