I've never been that big on rear winglets, but I must admit that anhedral horizontal stabelizers (downward sloping like on the back of a harrier) might look cool and would still allow the canopy to c ...

Didn't think there were any lithium's cheap enough to consider for an EV. Are there? If so I'll replace my lead acids. I love electric for the pulse/litestar except for the weight.
