What kind of range are you expecting?Something on the order of 400-500 nautical miles. Roughly 3-4 hours of endurance. For reference, a gas-powered cozy can expect 1200-1300 nautical miles of range, or ~10 hours endurance.
Why build? Why not wait for certified electric airplanes to be more available?Because I can. Building is fun in itself. Yeah, sanding sucks, but everything else is quite fun and surprisingly relaxing.

When will you be finished?At the rate I’m going, maybe mid-2027 at the earliest? There are so many factors going into this that I’ll be happy if this thing flies before 2030.
That’s awesome, keep it up!Thanks!
Feel free to reach out, I love interacting with folks.
