Mate, was this thing originally designed (or planned) with a T-tail?

What you see is exactly as it was designed and flown.

Clear. I just have seen one with many other things similar, including the engine, but a T-tail, and was not sure it that one had flown. So, can I safely think that yours is not from Sweden?

Like you RegDep I had found a couple of T-tail examples with rear mounted engines. Searched for first flight on 18 May and 25 May (depends on interpretation of last Wednesday) but got nowhere.

OK guys - where do you think the engine is, because there is one!

Therefore what type of engine do you think it is?

So is there some kind of catch here - I've been looking for a motorglider with a tail mounted engine..could be electric? Just beginning to wonder if its a UAV?

No, just checking if it is Swiss…..

So, do I understand correctly that a picture of this thing is available in web only in password-protected site(s), but the news of its premiere, with sufficient description for ID, could be found based on the date of its flight?

No. It it is freely available on the web.

It's just that I get very early alerts of stuff.
