Micro-wind energy
Seems a bad idea to me.
As Dan suggested, there is no need for all this with good batteries. A couple of Tenergy or K2 12V 10A/H LiFePO4 would be the best solution. You can do 1000k with a VGA moving map display and transponder (plus the usual assortment of crap) running from pre-flight to flight download. The batteries will still be above 12V afterwards. Besides the aerodynamic drag and storage problems, what time and money are involved to replace the canopy after a bad deployment or retrieval of one of those generators? It will happen sooner or later. With that consideration, even phosphate batteries are cheap. Jim
