Very impressive, but I would miss the smell of gas!

Electric engines are the best alternative for short flights (or for typical
endurance but at very slow speed)

Well, for now. You know somebody is going to make a hot-rod electric airplane, they’ve done it to everything else. Yes, all those new electric planes look ever so nice, but $$$$$$$$. I think that the Soaring Gull with electric,( oh, that’s the e-Gull, huh), with bigger motors and cheaper batteries as they become available, is still the best bang for the buck. I don’t think that electric Gulls have to be slow, that’s just a trade off. Faster is always an option, and with bigger batteries, whoopee!

I hear that Boeing's going to have a fire sale on batteries soon.

Oh, and another thought. My 503 with muffler, carbs/aircleaners, gearbox, is about 119lbs, add 60 more lbs for 10 gallons of gas, and you have 179lbs. Seems to me that would be quite enough for a pile of batteries and a 20-40lb motor and controller. Hmmmm, I’m starting a piggy back, hey Mark, how much do I have to save up??

Har Har!! Fire Sale, slightly burned, but a few amps left. Speaking of, uh, why don’t they just put a fie suppression system in the battery bays of those new plastic jumbo jets? Duh, also looks like they had no back-up plan like putting in much simpler batteries even if it costs a couple seats. This one is going to smart, Boeing stock anyone, fire sale going on!

Mark has been showing off his E Gull at the Salton Sea this weekend. It's really cool to watch him fly low overhead, only thing you hear are powered paragliders a mile or two away. Also, watching Mark land is demoralizing.
