Does anyone know if the electric sonex flew yet? Any plans on it flying soon?

Interesting project, that electric sonex. Nothing on their web site about it for a while http://aeroconversions.com/e-flight/

This bloke is offering electric power packs. http://electraflyer.com/index.html
Prices look a bit scary !!!

I've often considered the possibility of taking a small airplane like the locally built Murphy Rebel and replacing the engine and fuel system with an electric motor and lith-ion batteries.

It's worth a shot. I think battery technology is finally at the point where it is nearly practical.

Cheers,

David
