Might as well stand into wind as p#ss, at least you will get a warm fuzzy feeling!

I can't quite work out if everyone is being deliberately obtuse and making a joke of it, or just haven't though it through.

Battery powered light aircraft are coming and they are going to be cheaper to buy, cheaper to run and cheaper to maintain than existing platforms.
It's not the "zero emission" bit that's important -it's the through life cost.

Solved. Expect OBE by return mail.

Endurance issues easily solved; just hook a bunch up to tow behind a Voyager and recharge by windmilling prop.

Thank you for your proposal, but sadly the 3rd wheel is at the wrong end of the aircraft for modern elementary flying training. Please return the OBE application on the way out…

:p
