Electrolite—the Hyper STOL Ultralight
excerpted from KITPLANES — By Steve Ashby -August 1, 2021
If there is any doubt that aerodynamic innovation exists in the realm of ultralights, all one needs to do is look at what Aeromarine LSA President Chip Erwin has done to his Merlin Lite ultralight on display at AirVenture. The Merlin Lite, a totally redesigned version of the popular light sport Merlin, is a wonder of design in its own right. What other ultralight is all aluminum with a fully enclosed (and even heated) cockpit? With sleek lines and a fully cantilevered and tapered wing, the Merlin Lite is also low drag, unlike most other ultralights.
