I have been on some other threads talking about the Maupin Woodstock and trying to get an electric motor on it, but that will only work with the 13.1m wings and nobody has the plans.

I have also been watching the electric soaring thread, but there are no plans over there, so this is the question: how could the average person / couple build the Sunseeker Duo? If there is another aircraft equally beautiful, that can carry two, and can fly on solar power, I have never seen it. I don't suspect Eric and Irena Raymond would hand over the plans for this beauty since there were clearly hundreds of hours of engineering that went into it (one can dream). So how do we do it?
