I have tried to get more technical info in Le Bourget a few weeks ago where it was presented, and then the lady in charge of PR, stopped me and said there were other people waiting and shove me off teh CEO, . maybe it was true but I have a gut feeling all the problems have not been resolved yet. A very nice model aircraft , full of good ideas, but which has not flown yet I believe.

The correct questions were what is the real actual endurance at MTOW with 100% charge ( they claim 600 NM but it is hard to believe ) and how long it takes to recharge to recharge to 100%? Changing the batteries after each flight is an option of course, but are those easily accessible/removable as they are supposed to be 65% of the weight of the aircraft.
But that said, I admire the innovation and the guts to produce this aircraft.
