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. My Google search for "lithium battery fire sailplane or glider" found only references to model sailplanes. I'd expect any fire in a glider to show up on the internet somewhere, especially with a fatality as a result. So, still unreferenced. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) |
