2. Alpha Electro Trainer
Second generation Electric-Powered Trainer – flying in Europe. The EAA, AOPA, and Pipistrel are working with the FAA on an exemption to allow training in electric-powered two-place aircraft.

Charger circuits are installed at Fresno Chandler Airport and Reedley Airport.
CALSTART is assisting Mendota get approval for a revised Airport Layout Plan with FAA for the added hangars and installation of the charger circuit. Mendota has purchased one used Port-a-Hangar in Fresno and it has been transported to Mendota Airport for assembly following approval of the revised ALP.
A large hangar at Fresno Chandler Airport will be used for the first few months after the aircraft arrive as a base for operations.
