The magazine "Aerokurier" has now also published a very nice story about the sensational flights of our Slovenian friends in the Bora wave with the prototype of the Duo Discus FES.

The developer of the FES drive, Luka Žnidaršič, was at the controls of the Duo Discus, which is currently still stationed at LZ-Design in Slovenia for final battery development. Luka Žnidaršič will bring this aircraft to the Friedrichshafener "Aero", which will take place from 27 to 30 April. You can see the aircraft as part of a special exhibition of interesting e-flight projects in hall A7, stand 213. Luka Žnidaršič will be there and can certainly answer questions about the FES in particular competently.
