Andor,

In a perfect world...I win the lottery and have one parked in the
hanger next to my brand new Extra 300.

Very nice video -- nice video editing! I'll risk being
considered picky by saying I would prefer music without
drums or a strong beat. Soaring is just not that mechanistic.
I have few ideas about what music I would put with
a soaring video, even though I'm a musicologist. Probably
it should be composed for the specific video just as
film music is done. Come to think of it, there is
one string quartet by a Mexican composer, Javier Alvarez,
written for the dedication of a subway station that
would be good. 'Metro Chabacano.' It does have a
beat, but there are no drums. The rhythms are so kaleidoscopic
that they could easily represent both the flow and
the unexpectedness in soaring. ( Recorded by Cuarteto
Latinoamericano. Still in print, if anyone is interested.)

Well, Google has failed me :-(. Just how much does the Antares battery
pack weigh and how long for a full recharge?

Tony V.

This lists the charging time as 8 hours at 220 volts:

I believe the batteries are permanently mounted in the wings, and the
likely weight of the wings is suggested by an glider empty weight of
just over 1000 pounds (20 meter span), as compared to an advertised
empty weight of 605 pounds for the pure glider in the 18 meter mode.
You won't be lifting these wings.

Included in the Antare's price is an *excellent* one-person rigging
system.
There's no need to be lifting the wings !

All of the one-person devices I have seen require you to lift the tip
end of the wing. It is my impression that you can't do that with the
Antares wing (too heavy). I am curious -- Is there a photo of this
one-person device, or a description of how its works?

Hi Greg - You do lift the end of the wing, and its not too heavy - I
tried it. I'll post my blog on Antares one of these days after I clean
it up, will include info on the rigging gizmo...

So the batteries must be inboard on the wing, close to the fuselage.
