yes Garry , having not much sun throughout the day does tend to put he solar
power technology in a dim light.

hi Garry ,
I'm for it .. electric power for transpotation , that means , no sounds of power - that lovely tune
produced by the Rolls Merlin or Tyne. what have you ..In-cluding every tune produced by American power plants .. We'll keep what we have , Of Course!
Running in perfect pitch surely. .. I mean who doesn't like to " to a Rolls " <<(like that one? I got millions of'm )
or a Pratt
but thats ok with me , thats what gives the glider it's allure ~... just sort of glide along .... able to hear yourself think.. youknow.
