The "Raven ElectraFlyer" is the right choice for clean, quiet flying enjoyment and for the pilot who prefers to avoid engine maintenance.
The power pack can be sized to accomodate your flying preference: medium pack for light weight, good duration and soarability and large pack for longest duration.
