The Simplest Electric Self-Launch Glider? 1Comet 120kg UL

The electric self-launching 1Comet is a seriously impressive sailplane. At just 120 kg, with a 15m wingspan, outstanding slow-flight characteristics, and a 40:1 glide ratio, this ultralight glider punches well above its weight. What really stands out is the value proposition: the complete aircraft costs not much more than retrofitting an electric self-launch system into an older sailplane — and rigging it is noticeably easier too. On top of that, flying under the 120 kg ultralight category brings some real freedoms — no medical certificate required, simpler regulatory requirements, and lower overall operating overhead compared to a conventional sailplane license.
