I've always liked classic German gliders from the 20s and 30s and 40s, especially the aerobatic ones. I had a notion lately to come up with something along those lines, except: easier to build and with electric self launch capability. Enough juice to get up to, let's say, 4000ft , shut down and aerobat your way back down. No great cross country requirements, nor speed. Just unbreakable in the air, cool classic lines (probably open cockpit and easily removed wings, by one person. Ought to feasible even with current battery technology.
Glider plans seem to be thin on the ground and I certainly can't find anything with these kind of lines. The motor could always be retractably mounted on a pylon . Anything even remotely like this out there?
