FAQs About the Pipistrel Taurus M
How much does a Pipistrel Taurus M cost?

What engine powers the Taurus M, and what fuel does it use?
The Taurus M uses a retractable two stroke, two cylinder powerplant rated at 53 hp that drives a two blade propeller. Operators typically use unleaded mogas that meets manufacturer specifications where permitted, or avgas as required by local rules and operating conditions.
What runway performance should buyers expect?
At maximum take off weight, the Taurus M lists a ground run of about 180 m and a take off distance over a 15 m obstacle of about 265 m in standard conditions. Short, well maintained grass strips are common operating sites for club use and training.
How does the Taurus M glide once the engine retracts?
