I was lucky enough to fly the DuckHawk for 8 hours this weekend - it now has a very impressive electric flap system. There's no flap handle, it's just always in the right position. While the computer vision tech to read clouds/terrian is a long way off (in my opinion), I reckon a perfect dolphin soaring computer, responding to the vario could be built pretty easily with current technology.
