Picking up my motorglider

I arrived in Zephyrhills, Florida last night, and this morning woke up to meet my new Pipistrel motorglider. Aerodynamically it's a fine airplane and glider. It's equipped with a really nice Dynon panel.

I flew a couple hours with the dealer/instructor Rand today, including ten minutes or so with the engine off. I landed about ten times, improving from really bouncy to a bit smoother. The big wings take a fair amount of planning to get sloshed around, yet the controls are pretty responsive. I'm getting the feel of it.

The only photo I took is of the weight and balance form. :v)  I'll rectify that tomorrow.
