"a gopher" Somehow appropriate given the demographic profile. :-)

All & Simon
I hear Simon H is an electric powered vehicle expert (Solar Challenge
Darwin to Adelaide) and wondering if you can offer thoughts on suitable
electric vehicle which could be used around airfield and towing gliders. I
am sure within a few years it will be the standard vehicle for airport
use.
Recently at Bathurst I noticed an electric skate board for personal
transport to the launch point - now just need a larger glider towing
version!!!
Off topic I have heard overseas insurance companies may consider you are
not covered for damage to a glider when towing behind a vehicle. May be a
good reason for driving very slowly when towing glider as just maybe you
may not be covered (esp if using other than factory gear). 18 months ago
I heard about a Libelle Written Off!! being towed behind vehicle and many
many gliders with about $5000 damage from towing behind a vehicle .
