THE FEATURE STORIES INCLUDE

An all-electric tow plane to first fly this month. Battery power
now available to keep it flying for two hours without a re-charge.

But can it tow anything heavier than a hang-glider?

Boeing Company announces a major break through in solar cell
technology. A jump to 41.5% conversion rate coming to a hardware
store near you.

I did a web search, and a Boeing subsidiary has concentrator cells
showing about that efficiency in the lab, but they are *nowhere near*
ready for mass production, much less delivery to consumers. They are
also concentrator cells, so they each require a concentrating lens above
them, and thus must be aimed at the sun.


If you want to advertise your (for profit) magazine on usenet, be

It is an exceptional magazine in every way.
Being in the aviation (soaring) business, I can only say "cheers" to
anyone making a bit of a profit in any aspect of soaring!
Let them advertise and we should support soaring ventures worldwide.
We are such a small market, from magazines to varios.

So while I'm at it . . . "good thermals at Marfa, Texas on DEC 28.
11,000' msl (6,000' agl.) Come fly with me year-round in my new
ASK-21 and DG-1000!"
