[Public-list] engine rebuild

[Mark Bisset]

Are there any Albergs powered with electric engines? I looked into this 
at one point, but eventually backed away from it due to other projects 
which needed money more. I found a used engine for about $1,000, but 
then discovered buying the generation equipment (panels, turbines, 
converters) was going to cost in the $2-3,000 range. The pros are 
obvious. The cons: I would have been able to more or less match A-4 top 
speed for about an hour before running out of juice. I estimated I 
could maintain a speed of three knots for seven hours, but that was in 
flat conditions.
