Wow they made 19 aviation records, those guys must be proud. Hopefully this proof of concept will lead to more companies looking into cleaner aviation.

An impressive flight even with a 10 month delay in the middle of it? I love experimental and pioneering aircraft and I wonder how long before a model manufacturer produces one for this aircraft? My bet would be on Revell to be the first, probably in 1:144 scale and who are well known for producing models of experimental aircraft, such as their kit of Richard Bransons' "Spaceship Two and White Knight Two' which I have in my stash?

I'd certainly buy such a kit!
