Motor glider Taurus M

two-seaterside-by-side

SELF – SUFFICIENT Fuel powered 2-seat side-by-side versatile self-launching glider with twin landing gear for totally independent gliding. COMFORTABLE COCKPIT The most spacious and comfortable cockpit with incredible view. GREAT HANDLING Superb gliding characteristics and harmonised controls with 15 m wingspan. Taurus offers complete freedom and independence thanks to the retractable engine, double retractable main landing gear, excellent gliding performance, inexpensive maintenance and a well-ventilated spacious cockpit. Taurus is the only two-seat glider with a 15-meter wing-span and it is also the most independent in operations. Equipped with a powerful, yet fully retractable high-performance 50 HP fuel engine and double retractable main undercarriage, the Taurus can go gliding wherever and whenever you want. When others will be waiting for a helper to connect the tow rope and hold the wingtip for take-off, the Taurus M can be already several flying hours away. The ease of assembling the glider shall be pointed out as well. Taurus is the easiest 2-seat glider to assemble, due to its automatic control connections and the fact that one wing only weighs 45 kg (99 lbs). It is important to highlight Taurus key outstanding characteristics: Powerful take-off and climb: From the take-off to 500 m (1650 ft) Taurus M only needs 3 minutes, 6 minutes to 1000 m (3300 ft) and 10 minutes to 1500 m (5000 ft). Then, reaching target altitude, you shut down and retract the engine at a flick of a switch – literally. It may seem unspectacular, but Taurus outperforms even a single-seat self-launching gliders when it comes to take-off and climb.
