That's something that would probably work well on a Kolb also. My Kolb is lighter than a Piet. Wouldn't have to be concerned about power pulses with an electric motor like with a gas motor. So a reduction drive could be pretty simple if needed. Wonder how much the battery pack weighs? | |

Cheryl's going to hang with some women at 'hunting camp' this weekend...his wife will be there. I'll have Cheryl ask her. They have an electric VW camper, too...(also two other VW campers) They wrote a book together. http://www.amazon.com/From-McEnergy-EcoEnergy-Transition-Sustainable/dp/0874260752/ | |

He could film the wings and fuselage with the new thin film PV collector cells and further his range. Also charge it on the ground. How heavy is a charge controller? 5 lbs? | |
