And a couple of pages later there's a brief article extolling the virtues of helium for restoring old gelcoat attributed, of all people, to Tom Knauff.. Oh, and a full page ad for that idiotic VTOL electric pipe dream from Joby. Was this to be a special April 1 issue?

Okay, so no one bats 1000. But the unsourced FUD on batteries is particularly annoying.
