I love the quietness of the electric propulsion system. A plane like this could be a real hit in the European 120kg (Part 103) class. In densely populated Europe, noise levels are a big factor and lead to many restrictions in Sport aviation.
Congrats for you electric goat. I love your project. Your motor is 45 kw but you used only 4 to 6 kw. Have you tried full power with which result ? You emboarded 2kw/h pack. It lasted 10min, you might might need 10kw to stay flat ?
Motor failed during second 8Kw test. currently working with manufacturer to resolve the issue. As a glider I only need 10 min power time, so I am using 6 * 6S @ 8A battery pack = 1200KWh at 30C
Mr. Ferrer, I too have a Goat project and I am planning to use two Turnigy 150cc motors. Would you please share the details of the motor fixing to the cabanes. That seems very sturdy. If so, multiple thanks!
The motor mount is fairly simple, it is made of to thick aluminum walls that get attached to the 4 vertical tubes of the cabana. When I get some time, I will post some pictures on my blog. It required an extension on the bottom of the cabana to allow for a bigger prop.
Ok, whats with the rope on the goat? A little short on takoff power? 50amp cruise isnt much, i have a 50 amp speed controller on my 6lb rc plane and its on the limit at full throttle. Vid was posted 2 years ago, battery and motor technology seems to advance on almost a daily basis
We use the goat as a glider. The E power system is there just as a sustainer to help us get out of trouble out when lift dies out. We use a minimum set of batteries (because of weight) capable of providing about just 8 minutes of power, using that for take of would be a waste, when we can perfectly use a tow rope to do so. As for the E-system, The controller I use is rated to 300A, the Chinese motor (cheap!) crapped out a few flights later. (It did helped me a lot to learn about E-systems for a minimum investment) I have not yet found a (good/cheap) new motor to replace it.
I’ve always wanted to build the goat glider; but have wanted to put an engine or two small light weight engines on it. Do you think this airframe could handle that?
Alex Ferrer makes sense; I was looking at the goat4 would there be an advantage to having actual struts vs wire support? Can’t find much info on the differences between the versions.
@@AbosoluteAltitudes Why don't you go for BLOOP4? Great free plan from M. Sandlin. Afterall goat is a glider. I think it's too late to reply to a 10 month earlier comment but still... If you ask me I will go for Bloop 4 definitely. But you can go for bloop 1 is almost a PIG 1.
@@ferrerdallas Thanks for the reply. How big is your battery (in mah) and how long does it last at the cruise power setting you are using in the video ?
@@smjamitchell I bought 6S 10A Lipo (the ones for drones) and 13S 10A Li Ion battery packs (The ones for bycycles) but I am phasing out the Li-Ion , will end up with LiPo only (132V 10A/h )
empty aircraft is 60kg with the batteries and engine 78 .. there are several things that could be done to reduce the weight.. (I got almost 5kg on paint alone!)

i just love the landing gear and the brake system
This is great. Building my own goat soon. You bet I’ll be adding this after a few test runs!!!
Very nice!
I miss My Goat.
Great job, thanks for sharing!
aviad aviation - released the MG 12 Zigolo which brings electric power to the goat in a factory Kit / look s like good flying country here too

I want to build the GOAT ...but cannot decide which one 1,2,3,4 ???
Also looking at the EMG6 ... thoughts?
I’ve always wanted to build the goat glider; but have wanted to put an engine or two small light weight engines on it. Do you think this airframe could handle that?
Yes, there are several GOAT's with engines, but adding any weight reduces the performance as a glider..

@@aj4756 You have to build it. Search bloop 4 or M. Sandlin.
Great work ? Where is this ... Peru ? What motor type and battery size are you using ?
Yes, 50km South of Lima Peru. Lipo batteries 100v , 45kw 27kv bldc outrunner motor. 49" prop.
@@ferrerdallas Thanks for the reply. How big is your battery (in mah) and how long does it last at the cruise power setting you are using in the video ?
70v 30A /hr I flew 10 minutes total, mixed use at 45 (cruise) and 60 amps (climb) .. when I finished I had 25% battery left.

hope u can make video on how u built the aircraft

Hello from Switzerland, a folding Prop would be verry effectiv🙋♂️
Yes, it would help, but really not that much (vs the extra cost) .. the plane is not streamlined at all as it is 13:1 in best case
@@ferrerdallas would covering it up with a lightweight body be worth it?
Please tell me how much weight you have
empty aircraft is 60kg with the batteries and engine 78 .. there are several things that could be done to reduce the weight.. (I got almost 5kg on paint alone!)
How much is this plane? please answer
Its homemade
