Electravia Electric Powered Plane 2007

This plane first flew in 2007 and is a nice example (I think) of what can be used on a light weight flea variant... I had emailed the designer (Anne Lavrand) a couple years ago to get more information. The plane itself I think is a European kit plane (or was)... but it's an interesting idea, which I would like to take a step further and charge the battery system with solar... I think it can be done but I need to do more research as the flea materializes in my shop. I'll give the engine specs to Chris Falconar and see what he thinks might need to be changed for CG etc. Electravia is French and very innovative... there has been a lot written about this woman and is well known in the aviation world there... haven't followed up so don't know anything recent.
