Dear Son of Flubber, What is the price target for you?

Realistically what can you afford to buy now in an electric sustainer?


Besides my expectation of cheaper and better batteries in my flying lifetime, I've not caught the XC bug yet. Plus I have 7 day a week tow availability and landable valley fields.

If I were flying XC over tiger country, a FES would be more compelling.
