Electric Powered First Flight of Elektra One

Built and tested in Germany, the manufacturers hope to evolve the prototype into a retractable LSA  for export to the US. (Can they do that?)  It is a long stretch from the demonstrated 30 minutes to the target 3 hour endurance, and I'll be impressed if they can hit the target price quoted in this article.
