I remember an article about these guys about a year ago, they were
describing the tedium of soldering all of those batteries together- seems to
have worked out for them though- not sure how much flight time one would
have if installed in an aircraft- anyone remember that fuel cell /
electrically powered aircraft on display at OSH several years ago- never saw
it again- I think it was an RV? They said that they were almost ready to fly
it- guess they never did, because I am sure it would have made some
news.....

These guys have already done it. But you only need 6,040 c-cell batteries
to produce 400 HP and go 245 MPH!

Hi Doug,
We've all heard that hi-tech electric motors will be the future of
private aircraft power, but tell me; how are you going to fasten fourteen
thousand of those little AA batteries together anyway :-) - Please send a
picture :-)
