e-LIFT hang glider electric propulsion system from electricsports.

As a person who flies electric R/C gliders, rides electric motorcycles, and has built and rides an electric dual-sport trike, I'm definitely in favor of electric propulsion for all vehicles. In fact I'm hopelessly addicted to electric propulsion. I would love to fly an electric assist glider. Attached is a photo of my home-built e-trike in the Klamath National Forest last week (June 2015). This was a dirt ride of 53.5 miles with over 8,000 feet of climb / decent (out & back). Still had 26% charge left at the end. The era of electric propulsion is here!

Hmm. I wanted to know more about this glider, walked over to the wikipedia article and ...
... read almost the exact same text. Seems there is some copy-paste going on. The bulk of the article was written in 2007. But the internet archive started to spot lazairinfo.com in November 2012. So circumstance suggests, wikipedia is the original.
