I figured there's alot of smart folks on here who have already thought
this through!

This is true, search this message board. Unless you are powering just
a radio and vario I doubt if you would get enough power fron cell
inside on the glaresheild.

However, I just saw a SUNPOWER 60 watt kit at COSTCO, less than $5/
watt including inverter and charger and controller. Much better
prices than your link.. One could put a single 15w panel on your
trailer and the battery would be charged before you launch probably...

There are also flat panels that you can inlay behind the cockpit. I
have 5mAh to keep the batteries topped off in flight.
