Interesting! “World’s Biggest” - Perhaps by volume but the one for Solar Impule was larger for wingspan by a few inches.

As it’s a temporary structure and not subject to planning regs at our airport - I wonder how the FBO would feel about me putting a small one over the Sonex in the tie downs…?

I imagine it would have to be plugged in with an inflation fan going all the time. Do your tie downs have power? An inflatable for the sonex wouldn’t have to be very large at all.

Old Lead Acid Batteries in a block for storage, a few more solar panels. Who needs power in the tie downs? 
It’s how I currently maintain my starting battery. Just need to collect a bit more light and store it for night…
