HBA,

I am trying to see if there is a market for a product and what better way to know than to ask people that will use it!

Would you purchase a electric plane kit with the following specs?
  • 160 HP
  • 1:15 Flight Time with 30 Min reserve
  • 98 Kts
  • 2 Person (Max Weight of 373 Lbs Pax + Cargo)
  • Includes a 14" Display
    • Battery Level
    • Battery Status (Health)
    • Map with remaining range
    • Instruments (RPM, Backup instruments fed from Garmin instrument can bus)
  • 10 Hour charge time on a 50 Amp 240 Volt plug
  • 5 Hour charge time on a 100 Amp 240 Volt charger (installs directly to distribution/breaker panel)
  • 45 minute charger at select locations
  • For 150K USD + airframe (old cessna 172) + Garmin avionics.
If no could you tell me why not?

This would be experimental but thinking if certified it be a great fit for flight schools
What are your thoughts?
