Those with built in batteries are not seeing the big picture clearly.. Seriously? Removable batteries are heavy and susceptible to damage (as proven). That quote came from Buzz, not Eric. Eric is all-in with batteries less conveniently removed, in the wings. He'll be flying his Jeta next year. Maybe just on Condor :-) I remember an Electro Taurus that showed up at Parowan a few years ago, solar cells covering his trailer. Supposedly the cells would charge a staging battery in the trailer during the day, then they would cross-charge the ship batteries at night. Pilot told me in reality it took three days of sunshine to get adequate charge, and was wondering about the availability of a 220 volt outlet. Also, during shipping the weight of the solar cells had caused the trailer top to sag, and damaged his canopy. Sometimes things that sound great on paper don't work out as planned in reality. Speaking of such, why has no one recommended the Sunseeker for Nick? -Dave |
