not so sure it is such a silly comparison for people outside of the US, where
costs can be considerable in the fuel department. Our figures indicate that at
we would be at 'break even' point if we get 100 flights a pack. Anything more
and its gravy. We are not including things like I/C engine rebuilds etc either.
We simply treated the packs as 'fuel' in our estimations. Like anything,
maintenance and correct installation is an issue/learning curve...and done
properly I can see Electric making economic rationale.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

if anyone can just give us more info on how it actually 'feels' to fly the FAI
pattern?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes and you need to figure out the jump in your
electric bill. Getting silly isn't it? It's a 2:1 comparison,
assuming the batteries last, which apparently, they don't.</FONT></DIV>
