Have you seen the Sonex e-Flight program?
Or how about the Electric Apis project?http://www.glider-one.si/index.php?o...tpage&Itemid=1

Exciting times!

Seen'em, thanks; (I've even had the pleasure of attending one of Pete
Buck's [the brains behind the Sonex project dubbed 'Flash Flight']
presentations on it, and checked out some of their special custom
lithium cells too, then picked his brain for a while..., in addition
to Cafe' green racer updates and Goshawk info...) all very neat, but I
want to know more about these hybrid engines in the 140-200 hp range
that would revolutionize glider towing as we know it... Anyone have
anything to add to this topic? Googling has provided scant little
additional info to me so far...

Exiting times indeed! (except that by the time it's all come to
fruition the air will probably only be designated for UAV's and heavy
iron...)
