E-motor mounted

The new electric motor has now been mounted properly and it was running nicely in our test site's hangar. There's still some adjusting work with prop blades. We'll also integrate the accelerator handle with the control stick before the water taxi tests next week.

It's great to get back to the lake!

Mounting the electric motor

Hi guys! It has been a long time waiting for the electric motor but finally we got it last week. Now we have been building air intakes for cooling, mounts etc. so soon we'll be ready to test the baby with it's new electric heart, Flytec HPD 13.5 with the new adjustable Helix propeller.

Stay tuned!

News update

Hello guys,
here we have an update for you: We ordered our new electrical​ engine from Flytec at the beginning of June. But it seems they had to cope with unforeseen​ problems with respect to other matters than our case. The current status is that the engine is purchased and in production​ line now but unfortunat​ely has not been sent out yet. We’re eager to get this engine asap. The Nano looked so great in the last video and was lifting off at around 40 km/h with empty weight already. So let’s hope that Flytec will speed up a bit :).

Thank you for your support and engagement​!

Your's
FlyNano team

News from test site

There weren’t any news from our side for a long time now. Anyway we have been working hard on Nano in many respects and things are moving in the right direction. We have great news from our test site! We managed to essentially reduce the water resistance with the new hull design. So far we have done towing tests with the new hull. In fact the wings are beginning to lift Nano up already at a speed of 45km/h. 

And why without engine? Well, we just had too many challenges when using the gas engines. We ended up with the electric engine because we don't want our customers to be confronted with the same issues. We want to provide only the best solutions and safe experiences for our customers. We expect to get the electric power line soon and we are feeling very optimistic with its properties. Nano is now ready to handle the new powerline and to face new taxi tests. 



We will keep you updated!
