Electrifying!

So I got this interesting... yeah, what is it exactly? Is it a plane? It has wings, but it looks like a car. Ah who cares, I got it for a mere €3 (4.50NZ$) :blink: and it is a beautifully modeled aircraft by Lionheart Creations!

So this is an electric powered aircraft called: The Blade, although it looks like a Prius with wings :P It's surprisingly fast and produces almost no sound, plus it's interior is much like a car. I would definitely like a car interior in a small GA aircraft, since most cockpits aren't luxurious/spacious/comfortable. The only thing I would change is the throttle, because not it is the round knob on the center console...

Since it's a green aircraft (not talking about the colour ;) ) I thought I'd take it to the windmill park close to Wellington

That's something I have to check Ian ;) But if he isn't, I'm sure he'll approve this Blade :D

That'd be ideal for the Wellington commute -- and if you were brave enough, you could put it down on the hill and plug it into a turbine...

...and very much appreciated, too. But this week I'd settle for enough bus fare for a couple of job interviews. :D

By the way, looking at your location, I think you'll be pleased with how the Subscription depicts NZLX:

(Well, the area, rather than the airport at the moment.)

Now that is a very pleasant surprise Rob ,,, I was totally unaware that NZLX was covered with what you were doing.

I have a lot of big downloads to do so I better get reading up on all the tricks. :)

Cheers Rob and thanks ,, Jim

Sorry, Roelio, I just realised I shouldn't have hijacked your thread for a sales pitch! Sorry about that.

Haha no worries there! The more people enjoy your scenery, the longer you can keep producing them ;)

That falls right into place 'Electrifying' just down the road is Lake Dunstin and the dam and the hydro power station. B-)
