  I've never played with a motor that size (130 LB thrust),
> is it 24 volt?

Kurt and All,

Yes it is 24 volts and max draw is 76 amps.  It actually consists of 2,  65
Lb Thrust motors tied together.
I have learned a bit since my first inquiry and will attempt to summarize it
for the list next week after I digest and distill it into a brief (I hope)
summary.

PV will be a tough sell here I am afraid as the summer fog events often last
till afternoon and often many days in a row.  Enough PV would require a
canopy which adds windage.  I mostly see the PV as extending  range on the
sunny days which are many in the fall, and not rare in the winter.

Take care,
Wally Stahle
