Hi Trent
I am Carl , all the way from South Africa, we are , that is Adam ,(who is an aeronautical engineer and I , an enthusiastic amateur) are developing an aeroplane along the same lines as what you want to accomplish long flying time, (We aim for six hours which everybody says cant be done with batteries.)robust , almost indestructible airframe, autopilot flying for long distances, ILS function for battery changes and up and away. We don't want to fly the length and breadth of Africa yet, might not be a bad idea though??? The weather is definitely suitable........... Adventure potential immense, going off on a tangent here. Will keep you posted on our progress. I think the Nova was a great piece of innovation.
