Fantastic! You did a lot of changes to the factory version. The nicest conversion I ever seen. Especially the front struts of the cage: did you do any changes there or is it just a late version?

Well done! Can you close those air vents in the rear fuselage, after you switched off the engine?

Hello and thank you, wings and main frame produced aeriane. My pilot made shell and hood and propeller. Engine cooling the blinds open and close them by the pilot. Now I am working on a new shell, to mount the electric motor.

So you are working on an electric drive now.. Will you use a ready made drive train (for instance the one from Manfred Ruhmer) or are you going to make the whole system yourself (battery, controller, engine, propeller)?

Hi Rolandas, I took parts from E-Lift and "shoes" from David Chaumet to change my Standard Swift to electric motor. Battery is a selfmade LiFePo 4 accu with 2 x 17cells a 20Ah. Works fine. Andreas Attachments:

Super work. The canoppy is also beautiful. And the fairing around the engine is perfect. You gain a max glide ratio. I have a question about the hub and the propeller. I have actually a big problem with the hub of my propeller. That is a ARPLAST GAF 113+ from ARPLAST, three baldes, done for the bailey V3 175 cc, MaxRPM 2600. The hub has cracks and I will stop to fly with it. The firm ARPLAST stopped the activities last year and Aeriane can not help me. I will soon write and article about it. I have to find a hub or a society that can do this hub. Which kind of propeller and hub do you have ? I see a hub in aluminium. The propeller are the same of ARPLAST ? The hub could be adapted ? Which kind of engine do you have ? Many questions Thanks. Regards Christrian

Very nice work! It is a Brightstar Swift or a Aeriane Swift? Looking at the winglets I'm thinking is a Brightstar ... I could be wrong This is a picture of Brightstar wings and winglets ... no rudder controls and the winglet is vertical not inclined ...
