I'll pass your email along now. Steve has also converted one to electric. I think you'd definitely want to take advantage of what he's learned. As near as I can tell it's normally required that you burn up a motor and/or ESC or two when converting things to electric.

Thanks for doing this

I've seen video of steves plane that what has prompted me to see if I can contact him

I got an EASA PPL - it's so expensive to fly

In Uk we can fly unrestricted so long as aircraft is below 70kg and foot launch

Last year CAA gave dispensation allowing wheeled foot launch to be included in dispensation

May be a game changer where the millennium is concerned

I'm 58 so carrying one on my back is big drawback - wheeled take off electric would be so useful

Must be many others like me in UK - limited budget - grounded

Millennium once purchased - virtually free flying after initial outlay

Can't see a downside!!!

Best

I suspect the Millennium comes in over 70kg with motors and batteries. Not sure.

If it is how do I get in touch with the owner?

Hi again!

Does anybody have a printable copy of Mill owner’s or user’s manual with more specs and maintenance information besides those found on DeltaClub82 site?

I have just become a happy proud new owner of an used Mill! :)

Thanks again!
