I'm really glad that there's progress in the field of electric GA aircrafts, but it's usage is so limited, pretty much just a visual pattern work. Can you have IR panel and fly long ILS / NDB approaches? That's would be really a game changer, imo.

Current battery technologies is what holding this back. Energy density must greatly increase to make it more useful.
