Some notes about this:

Average flights to this point in 2005: time 3:03 and
distance 149 miles. I know that seems short but it
includes things like BFR/rope-break practice and
some demo rides.

This business about 12 volts vs 14 volts is silly;
real pilots know 280 volts is best.

Flame shields up.

scarey big electric connectors,

Is there a system to insure the wires and connectors are cold when
they're not hooked up. A sore back from rigging is a sufficient risk,
but electrocution?!
