Im waiting for Super Capacitors to get perfected. I think LiPo and brushless batteries have made significant strides, and Super Capacitors would further that another generation of capability in electric powered aircraft.

Speaking of which,

Anyone know anything about this side by side self launch 15 meter bird, the Pipstrel Taurus? Electric or gas power?

Look at the Pipstrel website for details and dealer info; also, there is at least one of each
(gas/electric) in the US.
