One of the many memorable things about Earthstar A/C going back decades, was/is the Filled in map painted on the pod.
SOOOO! many long trips.
Nine hour recharge times after a 70 minute flight going from Santa Margarita to Oshkosh or Sun n Fun is a lot of living rooms to line up[perhaps bedrooms would be preferable?] same for acceptable landing spots.
So far it sounds ideal for persons living with their planes[airparks] .
Hopefully it will not take to long? to get to a 3 hour[including 30 min reserve] endurance with a One hour charge[lunch and potty break?]
The reduced pilot and maintenance workloads are wonderful perks as are operating costs.

Hi Lee
There are bigger chargers that can charge it in under 1 hr to 95 %
There is one at Santa Rosa airport.
Charging stations are spurting up all over.
I used the living room example because it is a level of power that is available every ware. Right now. dryer plugs will almost double the charger speed.
Happy flying
Mark
