No, I don't. The first glider I had a Skylark 2 had
one 7AmpHr battery and I ran the radio and the electric
vario for 2 days or more flying. There was also an
AH but using that flattened the battery in about 1
hour.
Currently :-) I have 1 7AmpHr Battery and 1 12AmpHour
battery which to be safe I charge every day, and I
don't have any of the extra items in the first list.


So what is stupid about the question? As my granny
used to say, 'I may be stupid but I'm nae daft'

Why ask such a stupid question when you know very well?

There have been many suggestions over the past few
months to fit equipment to gliders of all flavours,
most of them requiring electrical power.

The list is long, transponders, strobe lights, anti
collision warnings and thermal predictors.
We already have electric varios, turn and slip, artificial
horizon, gps, palm top, bug wipers and loggers and
I probably have not mentioned them all.

My question: Where is the power coming from to run
all these devices?
