If it came out of George Bye's mouth, it is definitely too good to be true.


Yep. That Duckhawk with solar cells plastered on the wings is based a
few miles from where I live. Sure hasn't been generating any local buzz
that I've picked up on. But it stirred up the pundits on R.A.S., who
thought we'd all be flying self-launch motorgliders powered by solar
cells. The cold reality has fallen a bit short. Much like an
Electro-Taurus that showed up to a camp a few years ago, that had solar
cells plastered all over the trailer.
