Suggested correction

As an employee of Pipistrel company I would like to suggest a correction to the text:

the design of WATTsUP wasn't based so much on Sinus (which is a motorglider, wings are very different and longer, certain versions even have tail-wheel), but more on Alpha Trainer, which is pretty much the same aircraft apart from the type of propulsion (Alpha Trainer uses petrol engine, Alpha Electro uses electric motor.) Alpha Trainer itself was partially based on Virus and Virus SW.

The cited AVweb ref was fairly speculative on the design connection, so I have made that correction. See what you think. - Ahunt (talk) 17:32, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thank you. Ymmo (talk) 06:09, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
