Hi, good question. Normally about 7.5l to 10l per 100 km flown. Flying like this you can probably cut that back to 5 to 7.5l / 100km. This trip was just a 20km+ line so too small to measure in this instance. Unlike general aviation pilots who will avoid the bumps and lumps of clouds, a motor glider can use the lift to stretch the onboard resources, but the main point of it is simply - just having fun! :)
Hybrid flying ! What sort of mpg or litres per 100k do you estimate you were getting ? Thanks for the vid 🙂
