I’m new to this forum and PPG in general, but I love the idea of the "E"PPG and may be getting into it. As a retired EE having spent some time in aerospace cockpit controller design my question is where is the redundancy? Or, do we really need to address it based on getting down fairly soft and easy (with no power)?
Since I’ve got a touchy back I will probably go the trike or quad route, carry a fair amount of battery for an hour flight. Given that a trike or quad can carry some significant cargo, why can’t a hand throttle just be a cable to 4 independent controllers, one for each motor? Similarly, batteries assigned in 4 groups, one for each motor.
For the group, how long is a good flight in a PPG? I’m thinking the goal of one hour would be plenty of flying. Most of my private pilot flying in small aircraft is around an hour per flight.
