Poland - Electric.

[William C. Harden]

I have to concur with Ron.  If Jason does not do well at the Worlds it
will weigh heavily on his reputation; be scared he might.  If he does
well ..... it may boost electric airplanes as a viable platform for
competition.  
 
He certainly is taking a risk.

Here goes. If you are selected to represent your country flying one type
of plane and power plant, is it kosher to switch to a new design or
radically different power source, such as electric?
 

My opinion - NO.  

It wouldn't bother me so much if he wasn't doing it for (his) business
reasons.  He'd better do very well or he will be second guessed forever.

Just heard from my spy in Poland.     Jason Shulman arrived with an
electric pattern plane.
 
42 volt motor, 60 amps.  Flying weight of plane is 10.75 pounds.    Prop
might be a 20x17.
 
Very impressive and very quiet.    I don't know if his other plane is
glow or electric.
