It's transportation. The % used for business can be deducted. Same as if you purchased a motor vehicle.

Hydrogen should beat out batteries in aviation. Its energy density is 100x that of batteries. Aircraft performance is much more sensitive to weight than cross-section or length, so even if planes get bigger to hold more hydrogen, it wouldn't affect their performance as much as loading up with...

Was never going to happen as long as there was no exemption for aircraft used for "official business" (like campaigning).

It's probably obvious, but check on ADS-B, if that's something you'll need.

Go for it. Don't skimp on the pre-purchase inspection. Make sure the inspector isn't friends with the seller.

Details on that hotel look amazing. How much of the town is like that? Wikipedia says Manhattan KS was founded in 1850s.

While speed can be converted to altitude, doing so isn't as efficient as climbing at Vy. Over a given time interval, you will always be at a lower altitude if any speed other than Vy is used during any part of the climb. Vy is the best rate of climb.

Right rudder

Magnetic fields drops off roughly proportional to the cube of the distance. So, if it has an effect at 1", keep it at least 2" - 4" away and you're probably fine. Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/calculating-how-magnetic-field-strength-decreases-with-distance.754213/
