What about an electric powered RV-12?

Dick Van Grunsven must have already mulled this idea...
I believe the RV-12 is a good platform for it: lots of room for batteries in the tank and firewall forward areas once you get rid of the Rotax. Plus at $27K for the engine, you can buy lots of batteries with the money left after buying a $5K electric motor.
