HK36 Motor Glider

Since 1990: beloved and flown around the world: the series of HK36 Motor Gliders are a True Sport Aircraft from an established, world class manufacturer.  This sturdy, robust airframe is made of fiber-reinforced composite.  More than 900 aircraft have been produced, and in Europe, this is the best-selling powered glider.

Like a Light Sport Aircraft, the Diamond HK36 motor glider requires no medical certificate.  However, unlike the LSA, the Diamond Motor Glider is a 105 knot, robust, certified aircraft, capable of day or night VFR operation.

Like a traditional glider, the Diamond Motor Glider opens up soaring opportunities with an impressive 27:1 glide ratio.  Yet its self-launch capabiliy mean you'll never have to wait for a tow.
