Interesting article on this ship. Anyone know how
much these cost? Possibly over $200k here in the US?


In Europe, I have heard of 170k Euros.
A full battery replacement, which 5 years ago was said to be very
close to 50k (!), is now qouted at 10K and 1K from two different
sources. IMVHO the former is correct.

I have touched the ship (beautiful), and seen it fly very gracefully
in low altitude, weak lift; on landing, ailerons remained effective
down to walking speeds.

Batteries can't be removed for lighter wing weight and loading.
