Electric powered Lazair ultralight aircraft on amphib mono float
The Lazair line of ultralight aircraft designed by Dale Kramer and produced UltraFlight was one of the best selling ultralight aircrft in Canada from the early to mid 1980's. According to sources over 1200 aircraft were produced.
These include a number of versions of the single place Lazair, a two seat Lazair and a fully enclosed model called the Lazair Elite.
At Airventure 2013 and 2014 I had the opportunity to interview Dale about his latest project the eLazair, with the e standing for electric. All of the information on the electric conversion for the Lazair can be found on the web.
