Love the idea. I want to do the same. I will probably get the system from Manfred Ruhmer. But the batteries are very expensive. Which batteries and charger do you use
-
Don't use a battery, go all natural by installing a kill switch that shuts down when released and uses the power when pulled. I'd love to have one of these and turn it totally solar, who is going to be flying in the dark anyway.
-
how long does the battery lasts?

If a swift only needs 3-4 mile an hour wind then I'm sure theres alot of choices for motors to chose from and solor installations I'd use the peel and stick solar pads one or two on each wing and play with that power however I'd find a mini charge controller. I know someone is going to create this someday soon aswell as several other modifycations.

This is my dream: to mount peel and stick solar pads on the wings as the Solar Impulse from Bertrand Piccard. But to take-off I need 8,000 watts and this is impossible only with peel and stick solar pads.
In horizontal flight I would need only 1000 watts, and this would be possible.
But currently pads on the market are still too expensive and too heavy.
