Why don't you start by naming JUST ONE that replaced an ICE with an electric.


Somehow I failed to post this earlier:
Patrick McLaughlin designed/built/debugged/delivered an electric self-launch version of the
Sparrowhawk some years ago (called the Owl).
Not a ICDE replacement, but a scratch-built pylon electric self-launcher. Of course he's a bit
more capable than most of us ;-)


I did not know that. Is it documented somewhere accessible?
