I built his Heron design. It was kitted by Davey systems and the design objective was for extreme duration with current electric power systems. It is just a high wing trainer type model, stick built and a lifting Stab. Great flying plane. He designed too much positive incidence in though. Something like 7-8 degrees.
I am wanting to install a modern electric system in it now. It will surely have extreme duration compared to the Astro 05 cobalt brushed motor it originally had.
