The new plane is the Flystar of the Amsterdam Gliding Club, with a glider registration.
This gliding club is real, but the plane is not.

The configuration of the wings is not new, but I have chosen it because it looks to offer
more space for solar panels. But I must say that the wings came out a bit too long.
The single electric engine (from a Fairey
Rotodyne) would be replaced by six to ten smaller electric engines for more safety when I would build it again.
And when their
propeller wind would cool the solar panels these seem to give more power.
