At Sun ‘n Fun, AVweb took a look at Diamond’s reintroduced HK36 motor glider. In this follow-up video, we tried it out in extended glider operation, and (no suprise) it’s a great performer. If you want to learn soaring and still want a powered airplane, the HK36 is a remarkably well-executed compromise.

If you enjoy this video, be sure to look for the print review of the FX8 in the June issue of our sister publication, Aviation Consumer.
